1954 Map of West Canada Lakes

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The Northville Lake Placid Trail winds through this high Adirondack wilderness, connecting remote backcountry landmarks during the mid-1950s. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, where the Fulton Chain Lakes and Seventh Lake in the northwest give way to the intricate headwaters of West Canada Creek. Human presence is sparse and specialized, marked by the lonely outpost of Kenwells, several Shelter points, and a Rangers Camp near West Lake. High-elevation observation is noted at the Lookout Tower atop Wakely Mountain and another on Pillsbury Mtn. Significant wetland features like Sampson Bog and the Sumner Plains reflect the natural drainage patterns of this interior mountain region, while established sites like Millers Camp indicate the era's ongoing usage for forest management and recreation within the state park.
