2023 Map of Gabriels

About this map

Gabriels and the surrounding Adirondack lake country are defined by a complex network of glacial water bodies and seasonal settlements. The map highlights the central role of Paul Smiths near Lower Saint Regis Lake, a locality long associated with wilderness education and early mountain tourism. Modern transit infrastructure, such as the Adirondack Regional Airport, contrasts with the older settlement patterns found at Onchiota and Harrietstown. The terrain is marked by numerous family-named landmarks and water features like Grandmas Pond and Jones Pond, alongside the winding paths of the Saint Regis River and Rickerson Brook. Large tracts of the Adirondack Park Preserve indicate the region's commitment to conservation, while cemeteries like Saint Johns Cem provide vital points of reference for local genealogical research within the Franklin Co and Essex Co boundary area.
