About this map

The settlement of Deerland occupies the narrow passage between the expansive Long Lake and the Raquette River in this central Adirondack landscape. This area, dominated by high peaks and interconnected waterways, shows a modern infrastructure focused on recreation and preservation. The Northville-Placid Trl winds through the eastern ridges, passing beneath Mount Sabattis and Burnt Mountain, while local history is anchored at the Long Lake Cem. Numerous smaller water bodies like Polliwog Pond and Minnow Pond are tucked into the high-elevation basins.

The topography is defined by significant summits, including the prominent Blue Mountain in the southeast and Owls Head Mountain to the west. Landmarks such as Buttermilk Falls on the river and the secluded Camp One near Blue Mountain illustrate the balance between accessible natural features and the more remote reaches of the park. The map also traces an extensive network of named local ways and trails, such as Abenaki Trail Way and Lake Eaton Way, which serve the lakeside communities and seasonal camps.
