About this map

Lake George dominates the eastern half of this terrain, where the water is divided by a series of prominent islands including Saint Sacrament Island, Vicars Island, and the Harbor Islands. The shoreline is punctuated by historic landing points such as Silver Bay, Sabbath Day Point, and Huletts Landing, the latter situated across the water on the eastern shore. The interior landscape is defined by the significant elevations of the Tongue Mountain Range, including Fivemile Mtn and Brown Mtn, which rise sharply from the western banks of the lake.

Further inland, the map records more secluded high-country features such as Swede Mtn, Beech Mtn, and the curiously named Number One Hundred and Eight Mtn. These peaks are interspersed with small upland water bodies like Jabe Pond and Spectacle Pond. For those researching local heritage, the inclusion of the Wardsboro Cem along Wardsboro Rd provides a specific point of genealogical interest in an otherwise mountainous and densely wooded region.
