2016 Map of Graphite

About this map

Adirondack Park Preserve lands dominate this interior landscape, where the border of Essex and Warren Counties bisects a network of high peaks and secluded ponds. The settlement of Graphite sits south of May Memorial Cem, while Hague occupies the southeastern corner near the edge of Lake George's drainage. The terrain is defined by a dense concentration of summits including Thunderbolt Mtn, Trumbull Mtn, and the curiously named Grizzly Ocean Mtn. This area serves as a significant hydrologic hub where waters move through systems like Pharoah Lake, Putnam Pond, and Eagle Lake. The road network is limited to local connectors like CO Hwy 39 and New Hague Rd, reflecting a landscape where geography and conservation have dictated the slow pace of development into the 21st century.
