1955 Map of Lake Luzerne

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

The Sacandaga River and Hudson River converge at the heart of this mid-century survey, a landscape defined by the rugged topography of the Adirondack State Park. To the west, the Sacandaga Reservoir dominates the terrain, held back by the Conklingville Dam near the small community of Conklingville. This era captures a transition from traditional river-and-rail industry to a seasonal recreation economy, as evidenced by the Delaware and Hudson railroad line snaking along the Hudson, passing through Stony Creek Station and Warrensburg. Local life is anchored by established settlements like Lake Luzerne and Athol, while dozens of family-named peaks such as Wegley Mountain and Thomas Mountain rise above numerous brooks and ponds. The presence of several schools, churches, and the Caldwell Cemetery provides significant points of interest for those researching the early residents of Warren and Saratoga counties.
