About this map

The Hudson River carves through the heart of this Adirondack landscape, meeting the Indian River just west of Blue Ledge. This modern survey of the Adirondack Park Preserve highlights the dense network of interior waterways and ridges that define the boundary between Essex and Hamilton counties. Cultural markers such as the Northwoods Club and Saints Rest are tucked among high points like Bad Luck Mountain and Big Pisgah Mountain.

Old access routes including The Old Rd and Old Rte 28C provide context for historical movement through the region, while newer trails like the Chain Lakes Trail North Trl connect isolated bodies of water such as Clear Pond and Mud Pond. The landscape transitions from the broad wetlands of McGinn Meadows to the sharp relief of Hardwood Ridge, offering a clear view of how topography has dictated the placement of hunting clubs and remote seasonal outposts.
