About this map

Barton Mine sits prominently near the center of this terrain, marking a site of industrial activity amidst the peaks of the Adirondacks. To the north, the settlement of North River occupies the banks where the Hudson River meets the Balm of Gilead Brook, a site characterized by the Mouse Rapids and Perry Ehlers Rapids. This landscape is defined by its high elevation and drainage patterns, with water moving from high-altitude features like Botheration Pond and Thirteenth Lake through a network of brooks toward the larger river valleys.

Local history is etched into the landscape through names like Christian Hill, Harvey Mountain, and Pete Gay Mountain. To the southeast, the small community of Sodom serves as a waypoint near Windover Lake and Baker Brook. The map reveals the intricate water system of the region, from the wetlands of The Vly and Bog Meadow to the secluded Chatiemac Lake, illustrating how geography dictated the placement of early roads like State Hwy 28 N and Barton Mines Rd.
