1999 Map of Tupper Lake

About this map

The village of Tupper Lake serves as the focal point for this late-twentieth-century study of the central Adirondacks, situated at the confluence of Raquette Pond and the Raquette River. The community's social and religious infrastructure is well-defined by several institutional landmarks, including Holy Ghost Academy, Mercy General Hospital, and St Alphonsus Cem. To the south, the settlement of Moody sits near the base of Mt Morris, while the eastern portion of the map transitions into the deep wilderness of Adirondack Park within the town of Harrietstown. This landscape is characterized by a dense network of water bodies, from the expansive Simon Pond and Follensby Pond to the secluded Lake Madeleine. The presence of numerous designated campsites and the Ranger Station along the river emphasizes the region's enduring character as a managed wilderness and recreational hub, even as modern infrastructure like the Sewage Disposal and Substation support the growing village center.
