2013 Map of Five Ponds

About this map

The Oswegatchie River dominates this landscape, winding its way past High Rock and through several dramatic natural drops including High Falls and Griffin Rapids. This 2013 survey of the Five Ponds area reveals a complex hydrographic network where the Robinson River meets the Oswegatchie amidst a series of distinct peaks like Panther Mountain and Partlow Mountain. The northeastern portion of the sheet is anchored by Cranberry Lake, where Janacks Landing Shelter stands as a notable landmark for those navigating the shore. Further south, the terrain opens into The Plains near Boiling Spring, while a cluster of uniquely named water bodies, including Big Shallow, the Washbowl, and Cracker Pond, highlights the glacial character of the region. The map provides a detailed view of the drainage patterns and summits that define this pocket of the Adirondacks.
