1966 Map of Shelving Rock

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Lake George dominates the western portion of this mid-1960s survey, revealing a complex shoreline defined by the Tongue Mountain Range and a dense archipelago of islands including the Mother Bunch Islands, Big Burnt Island, and Floating Battery Island. The terrain is characterized by steep ascents to peaks such as Erebus Mtn and Black Mtn, the latter featuring a lookout tower. Settlement is sparse, concentrated primarily at Pilot Knob along the water and the interior hamlet of Hogtown. The map illustrates the protected boundaries of Adirondack State Park, where the local road network, including Shelving Rock Road and Dublin Road, transitions into primitive trails. For the genealogist or local historian, the presence of a Cem near the southeastern corner provides a specific point for tracing early inhabitants of the Fort Ann township.
