1968 Map of Laurel Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Glacial lakes and small rural settlements dot this section of the Endless Mountains along the New York-Pennsylvania border in the late 1960s. The landscape is defined by its water bodies, from the prominent Quaker Lake and Laurel Lake to smaller reaches like Lake Sophia and Dora Pond. These lakes served as focal points for local development, while the upland areas were punctuated by numerous Quarries, indicating the region's reliance on stone extraction. Small communities such as Brackney and St Joseph provided social anchors, evidenced by the presence of Brackney Cem and St Augustine Church. The map also reveals the rural infrastructure of the era, with early Telephone and Pipeline corridors cutting across townships like Silver Lake and Franklin. The numerous fine red dashed lines provide a detailed record of fence and field lines as they existed during the 1966 aerial photography, offering genealogists a way to trace historic property boundaries and land use patterns.
