2023 Map of Graphite

About this map

Adirondack Park Preserve lands dominate this corner of the Adirondacks, where a dense network of water bodies and high peaks defines the geography of the border between Essex and Warren counties. The settlement of Graphite serves as a southern anchor, situated near Wintergreen Lake and the winding Hague Brook, while the village of Hague sits to the east. The landscape is characterized by its named summits, including Treadway Mountain and Barton Mountain, which are connected by an extensive system of wilderness paths such as the Clear Pond Trl and Grizzle Ocean Trl. Historical markers like the May Memorial Cem and Old Fort Mountain provide touchpoints for local heritage in a region otherwise shaped by its timber and watershed history. This map detail reveals how the local economy and travel once moved between the highland lakes of Putnam Pond and Eagle Lake via routes like Co HWY 39.
