1979 Map of Tupper Lake

About this map

Tupper Lake and its surrounding mountain landscapes are detailed in this late 1970s study of the Adirondack Park. The village center is densely mapped, featuring critical community anchors like Mercy General Hospital, Holy Ghost Academy, and several religious landmarks including Holy Name Ch and Beth Joseph Cem. To the south, the settlement at Moody sits at the base of Mt Morris, while the eastern reaches of the map transition into the sprawling waterways of the Raquette River and Follensby Pond. The infrastructure of the era is evident in the presence of a Landing Strip and a railroad line marked Abandoned, signaling a shift in the regional transportation network. Large expanses of water like Simon Pond and Raquette Pond define the central topography, surrounded by peaks such as Buck Mountain and Panther Mtn.
