About this map

Lake George dominates the eastern landscape of this quadrangle, its waters dotted with numerous named islands such as Steere Island, Vicars Island, and the cluster of Harbor Islands. The shoreline is defined by notable points of interest, including the community of Silver Bay and the historic landing at Huletts Landing, where Hulett's Golf Course sits near the water's edge. Rising sharply from the western shore, the Tongue Mountain Range and peaks like Fivemile Mountain and Brown Mountain create a formidable vertical barrier between the lake and the interior drainage of Northwest Bay Brook.

Evidence of early mountain settlement can be found at the Wardsboro Cem located near Wardsboro Rd. The interior is characterized by a high concentration of small water bodies like Swede Pond, Wolf Pond, and Jabe Pond, which are tucked between ridges like Beech Mountain and Number One Hundred and Eight Mountain. This 2013 survey illustrates a landscape where modern recreation around the lake's edge meets the preserved wilderness of the Adirondack highlands.
