1954 Map of Piseco Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Piseco Lake and the high wilderness of the Adirondacks dominate this mid-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by water and heavy forest. Small pockets of settlement like Morehouseville and Hoffmeister are connected by a thin thread of road along the West Branch, while the eastern shore of the lake at Rudeston serves as a gateway to the mountains. The map captures the infrastructure of forest management and early recreation, featuring the T Lake Lookout Tower No 2 and the Tomany Lookout Tower, alongside several state campsites like Poplar Point State Campsite. Notable for genealogists and local historians are the remote family-named locations such as Averys Place and Powley Place, which hint at the isolation of life in the Metcalf Range and the surrounding townships. The northern section is bisected by the Northville Placid Trail, winding past T Lake and through the high peaks.
