1946 Map of Peck Lake

About this map

Adirondack State Park forms the wooded backdrop for this mid-1940s landscape, where the high country transitions into the settled valleys of Johnstown. The dominant water feature, Peck Lake, is surrounded by small rural institutions like the Peck Lake School and the North Bush Ch, illustrating the tight-knit community structure of the era. To the south, the topography flattens as it approaches the city, marked by the expansive Sir William Johnson State Park.
