About this map

Little Tupper Lake serves as the central focal point for this late-twentieth-century study of the central Adirondacks. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of glacial ponds and interconnected waterways, including the winding Bog River and Lows Lake. Within the vast Adirondack Park, human presence is represented by the isolated outpost at Whitney Headquarters and the small settlements of Sabattis and Robinwood.

The map reveals a transition between St Lawrence and Hamilton counties, where terrain is marked by significant peaks such as Antediluvian Mountain and Iron Mountain. Named features like Bettner Ponds and Lila Lake suggest the area's history as a remote wilderness region managed through specific land tracts and private holdings. The complex shoreline of Slim Pond and numerous smaller basins like Antediluvian Pond illustrate the dense, water-heavy geography typical of this highland region before modern expansion.
