1949 Map of Otsego Lake

About this map

The northern Lower Peninsula landscape around Otsego Lake is captured here during the post-war era, showing a region defined by its vast conservation lands and glacial waters. The New York Central RR runs parallel to the western shore, serving the village of Waters and passing near local landmarks like the Otsego Lake Cem. Public lands dominate the topography, with the Pigeon River State Forest, Ausable State Forest, and Hartwick Pines State Park blanketing the terrain across the Otsego and Crawford county lines.
