1966 Map of Lake George

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Fort William Henry stands at the southern terminus of the lake, anchoring a landscape that bridges revolutionary-era history with mid-century recreation. This mid-1960s survey documents the burgeoning tourism infrastructure in Lake George, where the Toll Road winds up Prospect Mtn to a Lookout Tower, overlooking the Adirondack Park. The map captures the density of lakeshore life, from the Hearthstone Point State Campsite to the seasonal enclaves of Cleverdale and Rockhurst along the eastern shore. Away from the water, the terrain is marked by commemorative landmarks like the Colonel Williams Monument and a Grave near Bloody Pond, signifying the area's deep-seated colonial history. The development of the Adirondack Northway is visible, signaling a new era of accessibility for the region's camps and public beaches.
