1954 Map of Lake Pleasant

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Speculator and the town of Lake Pleasant anchor this mid-century look at central Hamilton County, situated entirely within the Adirondack State Park. The landscape is defined by the convergence of major water bodies like Sacandaga Lake and the northern reaches of the West Branch Sacandaga River. Settlement patterns reflect the era's focus on seasonal tourism and small-town residency, with established clusters at Wells and Gilmantown contrasted by recreational sites like Camp of the Woods and Sacandaga Camp. Local life is further evidenced by landmarks such as St Ann Ch, the Piseco Sch, and the South Side Lake Cem. Topographical detail reveals the complex network of "vlys" and brooks, including Shanty Brook and Groff Creek, which drain the numerous peaks such as Hamilton Mtn and Mt Dunham.
