About this map

Adirondack State Park encompasses this densely forested and aquatic landscape, dominated by the intricate shoreline of Cranberry Lake. The map reveals a wild interior at the turn of the 21st century, where the sprawling lake is dotted with named landforms like Joe Indian Island and Big Bog Island. Near the northern outlet where the Oswegatchie River begins, the small settlement of Cranberry Lake serves as a gateway to the surrounding preserves, including the Cliffton State Forest Preserve.

Researchers will find a landscape defined by water and woods rather than roads, with Tooley Pond Rd and a marina providing the primary access points. Scientific and recreational interests converge at the Cranberry Lake Biological Station on Barber Point and the Cranberry Lake Campground. From the depths of Witchhobble Bay to the marshy reaches of Bear Mountain Swamp, the map documents a region preserved for its natural character.
