About this map

The North Branch Saranac River carves through this northern Adirondack landscape, anchoring several small communities along its banks including Riverview and Goldsmith. This terrain is defined by a dense network of mountain peaks and hills, such as McKillip Mountain, Ryan Mountain, and Gleason Mountain, interspersed with numerous waterways like Alder Brook and Mud Pond Brook.

Settlement patterns show a concentration of dwellings and structures near Union Falls at the southern edge of the sheet, where Grassy Bay and the Saranac River meet. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Saint Rose Cemetery near the hamlet of Alder Brook, while agricultural history is noted at the High Banks Farm Landing Area in the northern reaches. The area's character is that of a mountainous woodland, protected within the Adirondack Park, where local roads like Alder Brook Rd and Goldsmith Rd navigate around significant elevations.
