1949 Arrowhead Map - This map was made by Lambert Guenther. It was a hand-drawn map showing all the hiking trails in the Kaaterskill Mountains and North & South Lake. This map is valuable in finding some of the old hiking paths and locations. Some of these gems have been lost on some of the newer maps. Some of the gems are Hawkeye, Johnson's Point, west access to Kaaterskill High Peak, Fat Man's Delight, and many more hidden gems. (823k - 2943x2061)
