About this map

The village of Tupper Lake serves as the focal point for this survey of the northern Adirondacks, illustrating a landscape defined by the winding Raquette River and extensive timberlands. The settlement is densely documented with community landmarks including Mercy General Hospital, the Holy Ghost Academy, and several religious sites like Holy Name Ch. This 1970s record captures the region's transition as old transit lines shifted, noted by the Abandoned railroad corridor running through the town center towards Raquette Pond.

Outside the village core, the map detail extends to the surrounding peaks and waterways within the Adirondack Park, from the heights of Mt Morris and Buck Mountain to the sprawling waters of Follensby Pond and Upper Saranac Lake. Small settlements like Moody and numerous shorefront features such as Agassiz Bay and Trombley Landing show the established recreational and residential patterns of the late twentieth century.
