2010 Map of Loon Lake

About this map

Loon Lake and its surrounding mountain ranges dominate this Adirondack landscape as it appeared in the early 21st century. The map shows a complex network of waterways, including the North Branch Saranac River and Elbow Brook, which cut through the high terrain of the Elbow Range and Goldsmith Mountains. Human settlement is concentrated at Merrillsville, where the Merrillsville Cemetery remains a point of local interest, and the small cluster at Molasses Corners. The presence of the D & H Rd hints at the region's historic rail-line heritage, now converted for modern use. To the southwest, the terrain transitions into a dense cluster of ponds and campsites near Lake Kushaqua and Buck Pond, reflecting the area's role in forest recreation and conservation within the Adirondack Park.
