2013 Map of Cheney Pond

About this map

The Boreas River winds through this Adirondack landscape, serving as a central hydrologic artery for a region defined by high ridges and isolated mountain ponds. High points like Wolf Pond Mountain and Hewitt Pond Mountain anchor the terrain, while long-established routes like Blue Ridge Rd provide the primary human passage through the dense network of brooks and ridges. The map details a complex system of drainage including Vanderwhacker Brook and Sand Pond Brook, which feed into various named water bodies such as Cheney Pond and Wolf Pond. This 2013 survey illustrates the area's transition into the 21st century, where the focus remains on the preservation of its diverse waterscapes, from the larger Bailey Pond to the smaller Black Pond and Mud Pond near the southern boundary.
