About this map

Mt Van Hoevenberg Recreational Center stands as a primary landmark in this late-1970s survey, featuring the Bobsled Run, Biathlon Stadium, and Cross Country Stadium. This area within the Adirondack Park showcases a landscape defined by dramatic elevation, from the heights of Algonquin Peak and Wright Peak to the narrow valleys of the Ausable River.

Settlement is concentrated along State Highway 73, where the hamlets of Keene Valley and Saint Huberts are situated. Local history is anchored by the North Country Sch, a hospital, and burial grounds like Norton Cem and Shaw Cem. The intricate trail network, including the Van Hoevenberg Trail and Indian Pass Trail, highlights the region's importance for wilderness access, connecting landmarks like the Ranger Headquarters Marcy Dam and numerous high-mountain notches.
