2019 Map of Bad Luck Mountain

About this map

Adirondack Park Preserve lands dominate this central Adirondack landscape, where the confluence of the Indian River and Hudson River creates a network of dramatic river bends and high ridges. The map documents the isolated Northwoods Club and Saints Rest at the end of Northwoods Club Rd, providing a clear record of established wilderness enclaves. The terrain is defined by a dense concentration of named peaks and ridges, including Bad Luck Mtn, Little Pisgah Mtn, and the distinctive Blue Ledge overlooking the Hudson. The abundance of interior water bodies like Big Bad Luck Pond and Essex Chain Lakes illustrates a landscape where early travel and modern conservation rely on these complex drainage patterns. Dozens of backcountry routes such as Stony Step Rd and Gooley Club Rd weave through the mountains, connecting high meadows like McGinn Meadows with the river valleys below.
