About this map

Raquette Lake dominates this central Adirondack landscape, its intricate shoreline defined by numerous bays, points, and islands. In the southern portion of the sheet, the historic settlement of Sagamore sits near the headwaters of the South Inlet and Sagamore Lake, representing the era of Great Camps and seasonal retreats. The map details a complex hydrologic network including Eighth Lake, Seventh Lake, and Shallow Lake, all connected by various streams and inlets such as Browns Tract Inlet.

Topographical highlights include the prominent W Mtn and Cascade Mtn, while the lake itself is dotted with named landforms like Saint Hubert Island, Osprey Island, and Needle Island. Local infrastructure is visible through the positioning of the Raquette Lake hamlet and scattered settlements like Hasbroucks to the north. These features, along with names like Antlers Point and Pine Knot Point, trace the history of Adirondack hospitality and the development of the region's wilderness tourism.
