About this map

The mountain-and-lake geography of the eastern Adirondacks is detailed in this 2010 study of the area near Graphite. Named for the mining history of the region, the settlement sits along Hogue Brook and Wintergreen Lake at the southern end of the quadrangle. The map documents a complex network of water bodies, including the large Pharoah Lake to the west and the expansive Eagle Lake at the northern boundary. The terrain is defined by dozens of distinct peaks, from Old Fort Mountain in the northeast to the evocatively named Grizzle Ocean Mountain near the center.

Within the Adirondack Park boundary, the map traces winding backcountry routes like Putts Pond Rd and New Hague Rd, which provide access to interior features like Cranberry Marsh and Lost Pond. For those researching local burial sites, the May Memorial Cemetery is marked along New Hague Rd near Trout Brook. The layout shows the relative isolation of these mountain water systems, such as Devils Washdish and Springhill Ponds, before they drain into larger tributaries like Putnam Creek.
