1955 Map of Long Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Tupper Lake and its surrounding Adirondack waterways define this mid-1950s landscape, centered on the village and the adjacent community of Faust. The area is characterized by a complex network of glacial ponds and the winding Raquette River, which connects Raquette Pond to Simon Pond. Institutional presence is notable at the Veterans Hospital and the community of Sunmount, while the local spiritual life is marked by St Alphonsus Ch and a secluded Chapel near Upper Saranac Lake. To the south and east, the map transitions into dense wilderness, punctuated by peaks like Kempshall Mountain and Mt Morris. The mapping of small, named settlements like Coreys and Moody alongside landmarks like the Island House provides a detailed look at the scattered human footprint within the larger forest preserve during this era.
