2013 Map of Minerva

About this map

Minerva and Olmstedville anchor this 2013 topographic survey, representing the primary residential hubs in this portion of the Adirondacks. The settlement pattern is largely defined by the drainage of Minerva Stream and the corridor along the Morse Memorial Hwy. In the northern reach, Loch Muller sits near Warrens Pond, while the central hamlet of Irishtown remains a distinct locality. The landscape is characterized by numerous small bodies of water, including Minerva Lake, Stony Pond, and Big Sherman Pond, which are tucked between elevations like Snyder Hill and Bigsby Hill. To the south, Moxham Mountain rises above the Kelso Brook drainage. Local history is evidenced by features such as the Federal Flat Cem, situated near the confluence of Minerva Stream and Kelso Brook, providing a clear record of the area's established burial grounds and lineage.
