2019 Map of Johnsburg

About this map

Johnsburg and Thurman anchor this survey of the Adirondack highlands, where the landscape is defined by its massive peaks and the cold water brooks that drain them. The towering Crane Mtn and Wolf Pond Mtn dominate the southwestern reaches, punctuated by high-elevation water bodies like Crane Mountain Pond and Snowshoe Pond. The settlement pattern follows the lower valleys along Mill Creek and Glen Cr, where local history is recorded in family burial grounds such as Bates Cem and Russell Cem. Extensive forest roads and local ways, including Oven Mountain Rd and Dippikill Rd, weave through the ridgelines, connecting isolated landmarks like Number Twentysix Mtn and Huckleberry Mtn. This map documents a modern view of a region where the names of peaks and ponds—like Dippikill Pond and Mud Pond—reflect a long-standing relationship between the community and the wilderness.
