Five Location-Specific Wayfinding Maps Supporting Downtown Revitalization

Overview

As the Village of Tupper Lake invested in downtown infrastructure through its Revitalization and Action Plan, it needed a wayfinding system that would help cyclists and pedestrians connect recreational assets, public destinations, and community amenities. Green Goat Maps developed a base map and five kiosk-ready map variations for strategic locations throughout the Village.

This map showcases Tupper Lake, a vibrant town in the Adirondacks, emphasizing its Main Street Business District and various attractions. Key features include bike routes, multi-use trails, and public spaces like parks and playgrounds. Icons indicate amenities such as parking, public restrooms, and Wi-Fi hotspots. The map also highlights recreational facilities like the ice arena, baseball stadium, and courts. An inset map provides regional context, and a QR code directs users to additional resources for exploring Tupper Lake.

Scope of Work

To meet the Village's needs, Green Goat Maps was contracted to map bicycle routes, pedestrian connections, parks, schools, waterfront destinations, and other public points of interest; develop five location-specific maps with individualized You Are Here orientation; integrate walking-time information and other navigation aids; align the work with Village branding; and prepare durable outdoor-print files.

Key Deliverables

The project produced a reusable community base map and five kiosk maps customized for their installation locations. Each provides local orientation while maintaining a consistent visual language across the wider wayfinding network.

Challenges & Solutions

A municipal wayfinding map must work equally well for someone who knows the community and a first-time visitor standing at a kiosk. Green Goat Maps balanced regional context with location-specific orientation so users could understand both where they were and how nearby destinations connected to the larger Village.

Results & Client Value

The wayfinding system supports walking, cycling, recreation, and discovery of community destinations while reinforcing Tupper Lake's broader revitalization efforts.
