1954 Map of West Canada Lakes

About this map

West Canada Lakes and the surrounding Adirondack wilderness appear here in their mid-century state, showing a landscape defined by water and remote forest outposts. In the northern reaches of Arietta and Inlet, the map documents established camp locations such as Kenwells and Millers Camp, alongside essential backcountry infrastructure like the Rangers Camp near West Lake. The topography is dominated by major peaks including Wakely Mountain and Pillsbury Mtn, both of which featured Lookout Towers critical for fire detection during this era.
