About this map

Alder Brook serves as a central point of interest in this high-altitude landscape where Clinton Co and Franklin County meet. The settlement is anchored by the Saint Rose Cem, while surrounding terrain is defined by the Alder Brook Mountains and notable peaks such as McKillip Mtn and Duncan Mtn. The hydrology of the area is complex, dominated by the North Branch Saranac River and the expansive Union Falls Pond at the southern boundary.

Smaller hamlets like Sugarbush, Two Brooks, and Goldsmith are interspersed between the protected lands of the Adirondack Park Preserve. The map details a network of rural routes, including River Rd and Alder Brook Rd, which follow the natural contours of the valley floors. This area maintains a character of managed wilderness, with water bodies like Mud Pond and Silver Lake providing clear landmarks for navigation and local history research.
