1962 Map of Peck Lake

About this map

Adirondack State Park covers the northern reaches of this mid-century survey, where Peck Lake and East Caroga Lake dominate the wooded landscape of Fulton County. The southern half of the sheet reveals a dense network of early rural settlements and school districts, illustrating the established social geography of the era. Places like North Bush, Meco, and Kecks Center are documented alongside numerous family-named burial grounds including McBeth Cem and Rhodes Cem. The map captures the transition from the wilder uplands near Bleecker and Caroga to the more developed township of Johnstown. Notable infrastructure for the time includes the Canajoharie Reservoir and the Johnstown Reservoir, while local educational history is preserved through the locations of the Peck Lake School, Wemple Sch, and Clip Hill Sch.
