1979 Map of Lake Placid
USGS Topo · Published 1979About this map
John Browns Grave and the surrounding homestead land in North Elba anchor the southern portion of this landscape, just as the 1980 Winter Games were transforming the area. The map documents the local geography of international sports, noting the Olympic Arena, Olympic Ice Sheet, and the 90-meter Tower and 70-meter Tower used for ski jumping. Beyond the village of Lake Placid, the terrain is defined by the Sentinel Range and the West Branch Ausable River, which cuts through the dramatic Wilmington Notch.
