2016 Map of Lake Placid

About this map

John Browns Grave and the North Elba Cem ground the southern valley of this High Peaks landscape, which centers on the dual waters of Lake Placid and Mirror Lake. The village of Lake Placid serves as the primary hub, with a dense network of residential streets such as Hillcrest Ave and Grandview Ave rising toward Cobble Hill. The topography is dominated by the massive profile of Whiteface Mtn and the Sentinel Range, where the West Branch Ausable River carves through the narrow Wilmington Notch. Recreation and conservation efforts are evident in the winding Jackrabbit Trail and the placement of the Lake Placid Airport. Water bodies like Connery Pond and Owen Pond are scattered throughout the northern reaches, while the isolated settlement of Undercliff sits on the western shore of the main lake, accessible primarily by water.
