About this map

The Adirondack wilderness around Mt Tom is defined by a dense network of high-elevation water bodies and drainage systems. The landscape transitions from the peaks of Seventh Lake Mtn and Mitchell Ponds Mtn down into the unique flat expanse known as The Plains. This area serves as a significant drainage basin, where the South Branch Moose River and Otter Brook collect from numerous remote ponds like Helldiver Pond, Icehouse Pond, and the Mitchell Ponds.

Remote access routes such as Moose River Rd and Otter Brook Rd provide the only infrastructure through this heavily glaciated terrain. To the north, Mohegan Lake and Seventh Lake mark the boundaries of this wilderness, while the southern portion is characterized by a cluster of smaller lakes including Wolf Lake, Falls Pond, and Beaver Lake. The intricate hydrology of Sumner Stream and Pine Grove Creek reveals a landscape largely shaped by seasonal water flow and interior mountain topography.
