1954 Map of Lake Pleasant

Wilderness navigation is recorded through the Northville Placid Trail, which cuts through the dense mountainous terrain past peaks such as Hamilton Mtn and Cathead Mtn, the latter featuring a Fire Tower. Local history is preserved in the locations of the Piseco Sch, St Ann Ch, and small settlements like Pumpkin Hollow and Gilmantown. The map illustrates a mid-century balance between isolated mountain hamlets and the growing seasonal tourism around the larger lakes.
