2019 Map of Eagle Lake

About this map

Ironville and Chilson anchor the southeastern portion of this terrain within the Adirondack Park. The landscape is defined by its industrial past, particularly noted by the presence of Furnace Mtn, Old Furnace Rd, and Railroad Hill, which allude to the historical iron mining and smelting operations that once thrived in this part of Essex County. Water is a dominant feature, from the elongated reach of Eagle Lake to smaller catchments like Goosepuddle Pond and Overshot Pond. The map reveals a network of old roads such as McMurtry Rd and Stoney Lonesome Rd that wind through peaks including Bloody Mtn and Skiff Mtn. To the west, the expansive Ingalls Marsh provides a distinct contrast to the surrounding ridges, while Crown Point Bay and Ore Bed Bay along the lakefront suggest early settlement and resource extraction points.
