About this map

The Adirondack settlement of Tupper Lake serves as the focal point of this survey, established where the Raquette River flows into Raquette Pond. The village layout is densely detailed, featuring a concentrated network of streets such as Washington ST, Isabelle Ave, and Lafayette ST that surround the local Po. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of three distinct burial grounds on the eastern edge of town: Lakeview Cem, Beth Joseph Cem, and Saint Alphonsus Cem.

Beyond the developed village, the landscape is defined by a complex aquatic system including Simon Pond, Tupper Lake Reservoir, and the remote Follensby Pond. Significant elevations like Mount Morris and Buck Mountain overlook the valley. The map documents the varied terrain from the marshy banks of Beaver Brook and Jenkins Brook to the high ground at Pilot Point, illustrating the intersection of residential life and the deep wilderness of Franklin County.
