About this map

Lyon Mountain and the village of Standish serve as the primary human anchors in this high-elevation landscape within the Adirondack Park Preserve. The topography is dominated by massive peaks such as Lyon Mtn, Averill Peak, and Norton Peak, which define the drainage patterns of the surrounding wilderness. To the northwest, the shoreline of Upper Chateaugay Lake is marked by distinctive features like Split Rock Point and Indian Point, while the southern reaches of the map transition into the dense woods around High Bank.

Transport and access are traced through a network of local roads including Co Rd 1 and Depot St, reflecting the area's legacy of mountain settlement. Numerous watercourses, including Brandy Brook, Standish Brook, and Separator Brook, flow through the steep valleys, illustrating the complex hydrography of the Clinton and Franklin County border. This 2019 survey provides a precise look at the modern boundaries of the preserve and the enduring isolation of its high-country communities.
