2013 Map of Kempshall Mountain

About this map

Long Lake dominates the western portion of this 2013 survey, serving as a central drainage point for the high Adirondack interior. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Raquette River and the Cold River, which converge in a network of ponds and marshes including Latham Pond and First Pond. Named high points like Kempshall Mountain, Spruce Top, and Blueberry Mountain provide the vertical relief for this densely forested region. Remote outposts and seasonal sites such as Shattuck Clearing, Island House, and Camp Islands indicate the limited human footprint in this wilderness area. Local travel ways like Langley Park Way and the curiously named Coffee Pot Turn offer insights into the modern management of this backcountry, while traditional water routes like the Wolf Pond Outlet connect larger bodies such as Catlin Lake to the broader regional watershed.
