About this map

Saint Regis River and its West Branch meander through this northern reach of Adirondack Park, defining a landscape of interconnected water bodies and isolated peaks. The small settlement at Bay Pond sits as a primary point of human activity, accessed via Keeses Mills Rd and Blue Mountain Rd. This area is characterized by its complex hydrology, where Ghost Brook and Long Pond Outlet link numerous named ponds, including Bear Pond, Black Pond, and the grouped Little Fish Pond and Little Long Pond to the southeast.

Elevations rise sharply from the basin floor at Buck Mountain, Brandon Hill, and East Pond Mountain. These landmarks provided essential orientation for early 21st-century conservation efforts and recreational navigation within the park boundaries. The map traces the natural flow of water through Whitney Pond and Cranberry Pond, illustrating the drainage patterns that feed into the larger river systems of Franklin County.
