About this map

Saranac Lake serves as the central hub in this late-1970s record, surrounded by a dense network of mountain peaks and interconnected waterways. The village is well-established with institutional landmarks including North Country Community College, the Armory, and Pine Ridge Cem. Education and faith are centered at St Bernards Ch and St Bernards Sch, while the nearby Trudeau settlement and the Adirondack Educational Center reflect the area's ongoing development.

A notable inclusion is the Olympic Village at Ray Brook, a specific site associated with the region's hosting of international athletic events. The landscape is defined by the Adirondack railroad corridor and the vast water system of Lower Saranac Lake, Kiwassa Lake, and Lake Flower. The map details numerous islands like Eagle Island and Sable Island, alongside prominent heights such as Baker Mtn and Mt Pisgah Ski Area, illustrating the intersection of Adirondack wilderness and early winter-sports infrastructure.
