2016 Map of Blue Ridge

About this map

Adirondack Park lands dominate this high-relief area of Essex County, where the settlement of Blue Ridge sits along Co Hwy 28. The landscape is defined by the heavy drainage network of the Schroon River and its numerous tributaries, including The Branch and The Gulf Brook. Notable elevations such as Nippletop Mtn and Hoffman Mtn overlook significant lowlands like Big Marsh and Clear Pond. The survey highlights a complex terrain of named ridges and notches, from the Texas Ridge and Blue Ridge Range to the distinct gap at Hoffman Notch. This documentation captures the character of the New York wilderness in the early 21st century, showing the intersection of forest preserve boundaries with local county routes like Elk Lake Rd and Gulf Brook Rd.
