2016 Map of Lyon Mountain

About this map

The rugged highlands of the northern Adirondack Park Preserve dominate this 2016 survey, where the peaks of Lyon Mountain and Averill Peak rise above the surrounding forests. The settlement of Standish sits in the valley of Standish Brook, marked by its historic street grid including Depot St, while the community of Lyon Mountain is situated to the northeast along the slopes. This landscape is defined by its dramatic relief and water systems, with the southern reach of Upper Chateaugay Lake stretching into the northwest corner near Split Rock Point. The map provides a detailed view of the drainage patterns through the mountains, tracing the courses of Separator Brook, Brandy Brook, and Cold Brook. To the south and west, the terrain rises again toward Norton Peak and Haystack Mtn, separated by the lower elevations of Piney Ridge.
