About this map

Adirondack Park land dominates this quadrangle, where high peaks and an intricate network of waterways define the landscape. The Boreas River serves as the central drainage for the region, winding through the valley between Boreas Mountain and Wolf Pond Mountain. The area is marked by numerous high-elevation bodies of water, including the namesake Cheney Pond and the more remote Wolf Pond.

Historically, access to these interiors was facilitated by routes such as Boreas Rd and Co Hwy 28, while the backcountry remains connected through a system of paths like the Cheney Pond-Irishtown Trl and the Hoffman Notch Trl. Small streams such as Minerva Stream and Durgin Brook crisscross the terrain, highlighting the region's importance as a watershed. Local relief is significant, ranging from the heights of Hewitt Pond Mountain down to the marshy shores of Vanderwhacker Pond.
