2023 Map of Minerva

About this map

Minerva and Olmstedville anchor the southern reaches of this landscape, where the confluence of Jones Brook and Minerva Stream shapes the local geography. The area's history is preserved at the Minerva Baptist Cem and Federal Flat Cem, while smaller settlements like Irishtown and Loch Muller represent the enduring rural character of the Adirondacks. To the north, the terrain rises significantly toward Hayes Mountain and Green Mountain, broken by numerous water bodies including Hewitt Pond, Barnes Pond, and the secluded Lost Pond. This modern survey details the extensive trail network, such as the Stony Pond Trl and Cheney Pond-Irishtown Trl, that connects these remote heights to the valleys below. The boundary between Essex Co and Warren Co cuts through the southwest, near the prominent Moxham Mountain, illustrating the jurisdictional divisions that have long defined these mountain townships.
