1954 Map of Lake Pleasant

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Lake Pleasant and Sacandaga Lake serve as the geographic heart of this mid-century Adirondack survey, where the village of Speculator and the town of Lake Pleasant anchor the local community. The landscape is defined by the heavy drainage of the West Branch Sacandaga River and numerous mountain peaks, including Hamilton Mtn and Speculator Mtn. Local life is visible through institutions like Piseco Sch, St Ann Ch, and the South Side Lake Cem. Further south, the settlements of Benson and Upper Benson mark the transition toward more isolated terrain. The map records a time of established recreational use, noted by the Sacandaga Public Campsite and Camp of the Woods, while interior landmarks like Whitehouse and Gilmantown provide essential reference points for genealogists and local historians tracking the development of Hamilton County.
