1954 Map of Lake Pleasant

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

The Sacandaga Lake and Lake Pleasant region of the Adirondacks is documented here as it appeared in the mid-1950s, highlighting the area's dual character as a wilderness refuge and a growing seasonal destination. The village of Speculator serves as a primary hub, adjacent to Camp of the Woods and the Sacandaga Public Campsite. To the south and east, the landscape transitions into the steep terrain of the Silver Lake Wilderness, where remote structures like the Silver Lake Lean-to and Mud Lake Lean-to are noted along interior trails. Smaller settlements like Wells, situated on the shores of Lake Algonquin, and the hamlet of Whitehouse illustrate the dispersed nature of habitation in this era. The map also records essential community landmarks, including St Ann Ch and the Piseco Sch, providing a reliable geographic snapshot for genealogists tracking family ties to these Hamilton County townships.
