About this map

Raquette Lake and its intricate network of islands and points dominate this landscape within the Adirondack Park Preserve. The 2013 survey details the historical density of the Great Camps era, specifically highlighting Sagamore Camp and Camp Pine Knot, which helped define the regional architecture and social character. Settlement patterns are concentrated around the Raquette Lake hamlet and the southern community of Sagamore, while the surrounding terrain is defined by significant peaks like West Mtn and Cascade Mtn.

Waterways like Browns Tract Inlet and South Inlet connect the larger lake to a series of smaller water bodies, including Sagamore Lake, Eighth Lake, and Shallow Lake. Recreational infrastructure is evident through multiple sites like Tioga Point State Campground and Eighth Lake State Campground, reflecting the area's long-standing role as a wilderness retreat. The map traces local thoroughfares such as Old Uncas Rd and Killcare Way, which provide access to these historically significant lakeside estates.
