About this map

Bay Pond and its namesake settlement serve as the centerpiece for this high-elevation wilderness survey within the Adirondack Park. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrography, where the West Branch Saint Regis River and W Br Saint Regis River weave through a terrain dominated by glacial pond systems and prominent peaks like Buck Mtn and Long Pond Mtn.

Remote roads such as Blue Mountain Rd and Keeses Mills Rd provide the only significant terrestrial access through the Adirondack Park Preserve. The naming conventions found here—from the family-like monikers of Nellie Pond and Bessie Pond to geographical markers like Brandon Hill—offer a window into the era's local nomenclature. This map documents a protected interior environment where the natural drainage of the Long Pond Outlet and Ghost Brook remains the primary architect of the land.
