About this map

Brandreth Lake and the surrounding Adirondack wilderness define this landscape, where a dense network of water bodies and high elevations meet. The map centers on the large expanse of Brandreth Lake, fed by the Shingle Shanty Brook and drained by the Brandreth Lake Outlet. Private access roads such as Brandreth Park Way and Jackworks Way traverse the timberlands, connecting remote water features like Salmon Lake, Little Salmon Lake, and the marshy N Pond Flowgrounds.

Relief is dictated by prominent peaks including Buck Mtn and Pilgrim Mtn, which overlook a series of smaller, isolated ponds like Spearie Pond and Hardigan Pond. The drainage pattern is intricate, notably featuring Touey Falls between Salmon Lake and Touey Pond. This modern survey illustrates how long-established private park boundaries and legacy forest management roads continue to shape the character of Hamilton County's backcountry.
