2016 Map of Minerva

About this map

Olmstedville and Minerva serve as the primary hubs of activity in this section of the Adirondacks, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of water bodies and high peaks. The terrain transitions from the heights of Moxham Mtn and Green Mtn down into valleys carved by Minerva Stream and Jones Brook. Local history is anchored by small settlements like Irishtown and Loch Muller, while the Federal Flat Cem provides a specific point of reference for genealogists tracing early residents of Essex County. The map details a sophisticated network of local routes, including AP Morse Memorial Hwy and Loch Muller Rd, which navigate around prominent features such as Minerva Lake and Moxham Pond. This geography illustrates the historical reliance on these mountain passes and stream valleys for travel and settlement in the region's interior.
