The village of Lake Placid serves as the focal point for this mountain landscape, shown just years after the turn of the 21st century. The map illustrates a high density of recreation and local history infrastructure, from the Olympic Arena and Olympic Ski Jumps to the Lake Placid Airport. To the north, the waters of Lake Placid are split by Moose Island and bounded by Whiteface Mountain, while smaller settlements like Undercliff and Whiteface Landing dot the shoreline. The southern reaches of the map highlight historical sites such as the North Elba Cemetery near John Brown Rd, and the winding course of the Chubb River. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, moving from the lowlands of Mirror Lake up through the Sentinel Range and the high summits of the Adirondack peaks.
