1989 Map of Blue Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

The Adirondack Park highlands of Essex County are defined by a complex network of glacial ponds and mountain ridges as they appeared in the late 1980s. The landscape is dominated by the Blue Ridge Range and Washburn Ridge, which channel drainage into the Boreas River and several tributary systems including Wolf Pond Brook. This area, divided among the townships of Newcomb, North Hudson, Minerva, and Schroon, shows a terrain largely devoid of heavy development, instead featuring remote landmarks like a Foot Bridge and the high elevations of Nippletop Mtn. Local topography is punctuated by distinctive gaps such as Hoffman Notch and Hornet Notch, which have historically dictated the passage of trails and water through these summits. Numerous bodies of water, from Sand Pond to the secluded Vanderwhacker Pond, provide clear reference points for those studying the hydrological patterns of the High Peaks region.
