About this map

The Adirondack Park interior near the borders of Hamilton, Franklin, and Essex Counties is defined by the prominent ribbon of Long Lake and the winding Raquette River. This late-twentieth-century landscape showcases a mix of recreational and remote landmarks, including the Northville Placid Trail as it traverses the eastern shore. Localized activity is marked by the Boy Scout Camp on the shores of Mcrorie Lake and the Island House situated within the main lake.

Elevations rise sharply to the east at Kempshall Mtn, where a Lookout Tower once provided a vantage point over the surrounding peaks and ponds. The northern reach of the map features Shattuck Clearing at the confluence of the river and Cold River, a traditional meeting point for backcountry travelers. This area represents a preserved wilderness where water bodies like Grampus Lake and Mohegan Lake remain central to the geography of the high country.
