2023 Map of Tupper Lake

About this map

Tupper Lake serves as the focal point for this survey of the northern Adirondack wilderness, where the village streets transition abruptly into dense woods and water. The map documents a cluster of historical burial grounds including Holy Name Cem, Saint Alphonsus Cem, and Beth Joseph Cem, indicating the diverse community history of this logging and resort hub. To the south, the terrain rises sharply toward Mount Morris, overlooking a complex system of waterways including Raquette Pond, Simon Pond, and the winding Raquette River. The presence of the Tupper Lake Reservoir on the slopes of the mountain suggests the engineering required to support the local population. Further into the interior, the map reveals the reaches of the Adirondack Park, where isolated features like Follensby Pond and McBride Pond remain largely untouched by the road network.
