2010 Map of Mount Adams

About this map

Tahawus sits at the heart of this high-elevation landscape, where the upper reaches of the Hudson River meet the Opalescent River. The area is defined by its industrial history and mountain terrain, anchored by the Old Mac Intyre Furnace near Henderson Lake. A dense network of water bodies, including Lake Jimmy, Lake Sally, and Calamity Pond, provides a clear view of the drainage patterns through the MacIntyre Mountains and the North River Mountains. Notable peaks like Mount Adams and Calamity Mountain overlook the primary access routes such as Upper Works Rd and Tahawus Rd. This topography reflects the intersection of wilderness preservation and early industrial activity in the Adirondack Park.
