About this map

East Stony Creek carves a central path through this section of the Adirondack Park, where the transition from high mountain peaks to the waters of the Great Sacandaga Lake defines the landscape. Small settlements such as Hope Falls and Tennantville are scattered along the narrow valley floors, while the eastern edge of the map shows the shoreline of the lake near West Day and Day Center. The terrain is dominated by named peaks like Spruce Mountain and Gene Edwards Mountain, reflecting the area's geological character.

The presence of the Northville Reservoir near Maple Grove and numerous isolated water bodies like Murphy Lake and Sand Lake indicates the importance of water management and natural catchments in this high-elevation region. This survey captures the area as it appeared in the late 1980s, documenting a network of improved and unimproved roads that connected these remote Adirondack communities before further modernization.
