About this map

Forked Lake and the winding Raquette River anchor this topographic study of Hamilton County, New York, showing a landscape defined by its complex waterway network. The central lake system, including Little Forked Lake, Plumley Pond, and North Bay, provides a natural corridor for recreation and travel. Several established wilderness camps, such as Killoquah Camp, Togus Camp, and Deerland Camp, are clustered along these shores, reflecting the region's long-standing tradition of Adirondack sporting and seasonal residency.

Elevated terrain features like Moose Pond Mountain, Owls Head Mountain, and Antediluvian Mountain dominate the surrounding forest, while smaller water bodies like Antediluvian Pond, Flatfish Pond, and Bottle Pond dot the higher elevations. This map also tracks the local road network, including Elk Pond Rd and N Point Rd, which connect the lakes to the Forked Lake State Campground and provide access to the broader Raquette Lake area to the south.
