2019 Map of Muskellunge Lake

About this map

Honey Hill and the surrounding woodlands on the border of Jefferson and St. Lawrence Counties define this landscape, where the Indian River winds through a complex series of glacial lakes and wetlands. The area is characterized by significant water bodies including Lake of the Woods, Muskellunge Lake, and Moon Lake, many of which feature intricate shorelines with named points like Elephants Foot and Big Island. Local history is anchored by the presence of Riverside Cem and Saint Patricks Cem in the northern section of the quadrangle. The naming of Lead Mine Rd suggests the historical importance of mineral extraction in this part of New York, while the network of unpaved roads and connectors like Scotch Settlement Rd and Old Meacham Rd indicates a rural settlement pattern that follows the natural contours of the river valleys and rocky outcrops such as Pulpit Rock.
