2016 Map of Cheney Pond

About this map

Adirondack Park lands encompass this portion of Essex County, where the Boreas River serves as the primary drainage for a dense network of high-elevation water bodies and mountain peaks. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief, including Boreas Mtn and Wolf Pond Mtn in the north and Hewitt Pond Mtn to the south. Human activity is confined largely to a few established corridors such as Co Hwy 28 and Boreas Rd, highlighting the persistence of this region's wilderness character. Water features like Cheney Pond and Wolf Pond are joined by unique wetland formations like Lester Flow, which indicate the complex hydrology of the Adirondack interior. The map documents the intricate flow of small tributaries like Durgin Brook and Minerva Stream, which have shaped the local topography over millennia.
