About this map

Adirondack State Park dominates this terrain, where the North Branch Saranac River and the main Saranac River flow through the mountainous border of Clinton and Franklin counties. Small settlements like Sugarbush and Alder Brook are nestled along the winding roads, while Union Falls Pond and Silver Lake provide significant water features in the southern half of the quadrangle.

Genealogists and local historians will find the St Rose Cem near the intersection of Alder Brook Park Road and French Road. The landscape is characterized by numerous named peaks, including McKillip Mtn, Noranale Mtn, and Sugarbush Mtn, reflecting the established conservation boundaries of the State Forest Preserve. Evidence of local industry appears at the Gravel Pit near Goldsmith, showing how the land was utilized amidst the vast protected forests of the late 1960s.
