2016 Map of Gabriels

About this map

Paul Smiths and the hamlet of Gabriels anchor this 2016 survey of the northern Adirondack landscape, where water and wood define the local economy and culture. The map documents a complex aquatic network including Rainbow Lake, Osgood Pond, and Loon Lake, linked by the Osgood River and numerous smaller brooks. This area is characterized by significant topographical features such as Buck Hill and Jones Hill, while the southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the Adirondack Regional Airport near Harrietstown. Local history is preserved through sites like Saint Johns Cem and Mountain View Cem, situated alongside transit routes like Co Rd 60 and the Adirondack Park corridor. The geography reveals the intersection of wilderness preservation and modern infrastructure within the Adirondack Park Preserve.
