About this map

The hamlets of Loon Lake and Merrillsville anchor this portion of the northern Adirondack Park, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of glacial ponds and mountain ridges. The North Branch Saranac River winds through the central valley, connecting smaller bodies of water like Mountain Pond and Mud Pond. To the west, the expansive Lake Kushaqua and Kushaqua Narrows provide a major hydrological landmark, while the heights of the Loon Lake Mountains and Goldsmith Mountains dominate the horizon.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Merrillsville Cemetery situated along the historic corridor near Alder Brook Park Rd. The map also reveals the area's recreational and conservation heritage within the Adirondack Park Preserve, featuring prominent peaks like Catamount and Haystack Mtn. Notable local landmarks such as Horse Head Point and the intriguing Lost Channel reflect the complex geography of the lakefront settlements.
