About this map

Adirondack Park Preserve lands dominate this northern New York landscape, where the peaks of the Adirondacks transition into the valley of the Boquet River. The settlement of Lewis serves as a local hub, situated near the winding path of Spruce Mill Brook and the historic Ore Bed, a site pointing to the region's early industrial heritage. The terrain is marked by dozens of named peaks, including Sugar Hill, Fleury Mtn, and Big Church Mtn, illustrating the complex topography that defines this section of Essex County.

Legacy settlements like Stowersville and Deerhead are connected by a network of rural roads such as Wells Hill Rd and Stowersville Rd. Evidence of the area's pioneer and agricultural history is preserved at Fairview Cem and across The Plains. Water features such as Big Pond, Lawson Pond, and Mud Pond are scattered throughout the hills, providing a glimpse into the natural drainage patterns of the high country before the river reaches the lowlands.
