About this map

Newcomb stands as the central point of interest in this high Adirondack landscape, situated between the sprawling waters of Harris Lake and Rich Lake. The geography is defined by a dense network of water bodies and dramatic elevations, including Goodnow Mountain and Baldwin Mountain. This modern survey details the extensive trail systems and remote access roads that permeate the Adirondack Park Preserve, such as the Santanoni - Lake Harris Trl and the Ord Falls Portage Trl.

The southern portion of the map highlights the complex hydrography of the Essex Chain Lakes and the Goodnow Flowage, illustrating the intricate drainage patterns of the Hudson River and Goodnow River. Notable landmarks like Blackwell Stillwater and Ord Falls provide specific points of reference for those studying the river's upper reaches. The map also traces various specialized routes like the Upper Hudson Ski Loop Trl, reflecting the area's contemporary role as a hub for wilderness recreation.
