2016 Map of Long Tom Mountain

About this map

Long Tom Mountain and a series of prominent peaks define the high ground of the Adirondack Park in this northern forest landscape. The settlement of Horseshoe sits at the terminus of State Rte 421 near the southeastern corner, serving as a gateway to the surrounding wilderness and the waters of Horseshoe Lake. The drainage patterns here are complex, with the S Br Grass River feeding into the Grass River Flow and numerous isolated basins like Massawepie Lake and Burntbridge Pond. Historically, the area reflects the late-20th-century character of the North Country, where recreation and conservation dominate the land use within the Adirondack Park Preserve. Significant topographical landmarks such as Wheeler Mtn, Bear Mtn, and Haystack Mtn provide fixed points for navigating this dense network of brooks and ponds, including the winding Brandy Brook and the secluded Lake Marian.
