1968 Map of Johnsburg

About this map

Johnsburg serves as the primary northern settlement in this late-1960s snapshot of the southeastern Adirondacks. The landscape is dominated by the high elevations of Adirondack State Park, specifically around the massive Crane Mountain and its adjacent Crane Mountain Pond. A network of small family cemeteries, such as Bates Cem, and rural routes like Oven Mtn Rd and Goodman Road reveal the sparse residential footprint of the era. The Hudson River cuts through the northeast corner of the sheet, followed by the Delaware and Hudson Road, marking a vital transportation corridor through the mountain terrain. To the south, the village of Thurman and the waters of Garnet Lake provide focal points for local community and early recreation, evidenced by the presence of Camp Dippikill and several specialized paths like the Ski Hi Road.
