About this map

Brant Lake serves as the central focal point of this Adirondack region, its elongated shoreline tucked between significant peaks like Sand Beach Mtn and Pine Mtn. The landscape is a complex network of glacial ponds and drainage brooks, including the curiously named Spuytenduyvel Brook to the north and the extensive wetlands of The Marshes. Historical footprints are visible near the western edge of the lake, where the Elbow Cem is situated along Co Rd 26 near Bartonville Mtn.

The surrounding terrain is defined by a series of named ridges and summits such as Prickly Ash Mtn, Hawk Hill, and High Nopit, which funnel numerous watercourses into the basin. To the south, the Schroon River and Sherman Lake anchor the map's lower boundary. The road network, including Pumpkin Hollow Rd and Padanarum Rd, follows the natural contours of the valleys, providing access to remote interior waters like Lily Pond and Duck Pond.
