2019 Map of Loon Lake

About this map

Loon Lake and the surrounding Adirondack wilderness define this northern New York landscape, where historical transit routes navigate through a dense network of water and peaks. The map details the small settlement of Merrillsville near the Merrillsville Cem, marking a point of human habitation amidst the Adirondack Park Preserve. Significant historical thoroughfares like the Port Kent-Hopkinton Tpke and the D & H Rd trace the paths of 19th-century commerce and travel. The terrain is dominated by the Loon Lake Mountains and Goldsmith Mountains, while water bodies including Lake Kushaqua and the North Branch Saranac River create a complex hydrological system. For the researcher, the map preserves the location of landmarks such as Lake Kushaqua Bridge and several family-named peaks like Baker Hill and Haystack Mtn.
