About this map

Blackbridge and Pumpkin Hollow anchor the northern landscape where the W Br Sacandaga River and the main Sacandaga River wind through the Adirondack foothills. This early 21st-century survey reveals a territory defined by complex drainage patterns and isolated peaks, such as Cathead Mtn and Finch Mtn. Water moves through the terrain via numerous named tributaries like Devorse Cr, Hatch Brook, and Jack Green Cr, feeding into significant bodies such as Woods Lake and Grant Lake.

The presence of landmarks like The Notch and Jacksons Seat suggests a landscape shaped by both natural geology and local nomenclature. While the southern edge near Benson shows a concentration of local routes like Godfrey Rd and Woods Lake Rd, much of the interior remains dominated by significant elevations including Wallace Mtn and Three Ponds Mtn. The map documents a moment of relative stillness in this wilderness area, where named popples and vlys characterize the high-altitude wetlands.
