1953 Map of Schroon Lake

About this map

Schroon Lake dominates the eastern edge of this mid-century survey, serving as a recreational and civic anchor for the surrounding forest lands. To the west, the settlements of Olmstedville, Minerva, and the neighborhood of Irishtown represent the localized human geography of the southern Adirondacks, complete with St Marys Ch and its adjacent Cem. The landscape is a complex system of named peaks and water bodies, where Hoffman Mtn and the Blue Ridge Range define the high ground, while the Boreas River and Trout Brook drain the interior valleys.
