1954 Map of Piseco Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Piseco Lake and the surrounding Adirondack wilderness are captured here in the mid-1950s, revealing a landscape defined by its deep basins and prominent ridges like the Metcalf Range. Small settlements and seasonal outposts dot the shoreline and forest interior, including Rudeston, Higgins Bay, and the clustered dwellings at Morehouseville and Hoffmeister. The map documents the early infrastructure of the park, showing lakeside public spaces such as Poplar Point State Campsite and the rugged Northville Lake Placid Trail as it winds past T Lake Falls. Named clearings and family-identified landmarks like Averys Place and Shaker Place suggest a history of localized settlement and forestry. Between the summits of Panther Mountain and Big Goldmine Hill, the drainage of the Sacandaga River and Piseco Outlet forms a complex network of wetlands and mountain lakes including Spy Lake and Sand Lake.
