About this map

Mount Matumbla dominates this landscape in the heart of the Adirondack Park, where the border of Franklin and St. Lawrence counties cuts through a wilderness of river systems and mountain peaks. The Raquette River winds through the southwestern section, marked by Hedgehog Rapids and Burnt Island Rapids as it flows around Burnt Island. The settlement of Kildare sits near the crossing of the Jordan River and Kildare Rd, representing a sparse human footprint in an area otherwise defined by water and forest.

Glacial topography is evident in the dense concentration of water bodies like Haymeadow Pond, Sunset Pond, and the Marsh Ponds. Local landmarks such as Hardwood Hills and Hedgehog Hill provide vertical relief alongside numerous tributaries including Potter Brook and Black Brook. The network of unpaved tracks, including Adirondack Rd and Mount Matumbla Rd, indicates the area's continued use for recreation and conservation within the Adirondack Park Preserve.
