1921 Knight Pictorial Map of the Adirondacks, New York

A charming 1921 Arthur S. Knight pictorial map of the Adirondack region of New York, including both Lake Champlain and Lake George.

A Closer Look

Depicting from Champlain south to Johnstown, cities, towns, and villages are labeled throughout. Different colors indicate road grades, from dustless macadam roads to common dirt roads. Railroads traverse the region, including from north to south along both shores of Lake Champlain, connecting Champlain with Sarasota Springs, along with places in between. Among the illustrated railroads are the Delaware and Hudson Railway, the New York Central and Hudson River Railway, and the Rutland Railway. A map of 'Good Roads Leading to the Adirondacks' occupies part of the verso, along with an Adirondack Business Directory.

Publication History and Census

This map was originally published by Edward A. Knight in 1920 and then republished by his son Arthur Stanley Knight in 1921. 6 examples of a map bearing this title are cataloged in OCLC, however, due to cataloging inconsistencies, we are unable to know exactly what year each of those examples was published. It is scarce on the private market in varying condition.
