2019 Map of Number Four

About this map

Number Four serves as a lone historic outpost within the expansive Adirondack Park Preserve on this 21st-century survey. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, where the Independence River and Sunday Cr course through the terrain toward Moshier Falls. This region, split by the Lewis and Herkimer county line, is densely populated by named water bodies rather than settlements. Notable landmarks such as Francis Lake, Beaver Lake, and Stony Lake dominate the northern and southern sections. Rising above the wetlands and interconnected ponds are the prominent heights of Mt Tom and Buck Mtn, while the winding Crooked Creek and Yellow Cr illustrate the intricate drainage patterns typical of this portion of the Tug Hill transition. The presence of primitive routes like Adk Trl and Ten Mile Rd suggests a landscape dedicated to seasonal recreation and wilderness preservation.
