2023 Map of Meacham Lake

About this map

Meacham Lake and its surrounding northern Adirondack landscape are the centerpiece of this study, which highlights a region defined by high peaks and an intricate network of waterways. The settlement of McColloms sits at a junction of mountain roads near the southern edge, while the Osgood River flows through wetlands toward the lake. This area is characterized by a mix of protected wilderness within the Adirondack Park Preserve and historical access routes like Santa Clara Rd and Old Rte 72. Higher elevations are marked by prominent landforms such as Orebed Mountain, Star Mountain, and Sugarloaf Mountain. The presence of many smaller water bodies, including Clear Pond and Wolf Pond, alongside the East Branch Saint Regis River, illustrates the dense drainage patterns typical of this part of Franklin County.
