1955 Map of Saint Regis

About this map

Paul Smiths College and the surrounding lakeside settlements anchor this mid-century view of the northern Adirondacks, where the resort and educational economy of the 1950s is clearly etched into the landscape. The New York Central Railroad corridor cuts through the territory, serving established stops like Saranac Inn Sta and providing access to the deep-water lakes. This period shows a transition in land use, with dedicated public recreation sites like the Fish Creek Public Campsite appearing alongside institutional landmarks such as the Adirondack Fish Hatchery and State Conservation Headquarters.
