1954 Map of Raquette Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Raquette Lake serves as the focal point of this mid-century survey of the central Adirondacks, capturing a landscape defined by extensive water systems and early recreational development. The settlement at Raquette Lake includes local institutions like the Raquette Lake Sch and specialized religious architecture such as St Williams Ch and St Hubert Ch, reflecting the area's growth as a seasonal retreat. An Old Railroad Grade cutting through the northern woods near Salmon Lake Mtn traces the remnants of earlier industrial access, while numerous portages like the Canoe Carry highlight the traditional movement between Forked Lake and the Raquette River. The map meticulously details the surrounding peaks, including Niggerhead Mtn and Pilgrim Mtn, and identifies early public recreational spaces such as the Golden Beach Campsite on the southern shores.
