About this map

The Boquet River meanders through the central valley of this Essex County landscape, anchoring the settlements of Elizabethtown and Pleasant Valley. This 2010 survey details the interior of the Adirondack Park, where steep peaks like Otis Mountain and Mount Gilligan rise sharply from the river basin. The map reveals a transition from the structured street plan of the town center to the sprawling wilderness surrounding Lincoln Pond and Little Pond to the south.

Genealogists and local historians can find specifically named sites such as the Black River Cemetery near Black River, and the small community of New Russia along the southwestern bank of the river. The intricate network of local roads, including Brainards Forge Rd and Lincoln Pond Rd, illustrates how human activity follows the natural corridors between formidable heights like Raven Hill and Campbell Mountain.
