1954 Map of Raquette Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Deep in the Adirondack Park, the lake-studded landscape of Hamilton County is captured here during the mid-1950s. The region is defined by complex water systems, where the Salmon River and Shingle Shanty Brook wind between peaks like Salmon Lake Mtn and Estelle Mtn. A significant portion of the area reflects its transition from early industrial use to conservation and recreation, evidenced by the Railroad Grade running near Little Salmon Lake and the various named camps and points along the shorelines. On the shores of Raquette Lake, small social hubs like Deerland Camp and the St Williams Ch serve as local landmarks. The presence of the Raquette Lake Sch and a Lookout Tower on Salmon Lake Mtn indicates a permanent infrastructure supporting both the local community and wilderness management in this heavily forested interior.
