1997 Map of Deerland

About this map

The village of Long Lake and the settlement of Deerland serve as the primary human outposts in this expansive stretch of the Adirondack Park. Recorded in the late 1990s, the map reveals a landscape defined by the intersection of water and mountainous terrain, where the Raquette River feeds into the southern reaches of the lake. Near the water's edge, community landmarks such as a Post Office, Pine Island Park, and a Boat Ramp indicate a seasonal and recreational hub centered around the northern Adirondack waters. Away from the lake, the terrain rises sharply toward summits like Blue Mountain and Windfall Mountain. The presence of a Snowmobile Trail and numerous named water bodies like Lake Eaton and Salmon Pond underscores the area's identity as a remote wilderness corridor managed across the Hamilton and Essex county line.
