1978 Map of Ampersand Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Ampersand Mountains and the Seward Mountains dominate this 1978 survey of the High Peaks region, capturing the remote interior of the Adirondack Park across the boundary of Franklin and Essex Counties. The map detail centers on the namesake Ampersand Lake and the high-elevation drainage systems of the Chubb River and Moose River. For hikers and local historians, the sheet documents the established route of the Northville Placid Trail as it passes through the mountain gaps, providing specific locations for the Wanika Falls Shelter and a remote Ranger Station near Duck Hole. The terrain is defined by dramatic passes like Indian Pass and Ouluska Pass, which served as critical navigation points through the dense wilderness. Scattered water bodies such as White Lily Pond, Moose Pond, and the Wallface Ponds highlight the complex glacial topography that characterizes this protected forest preserve.
