2023 Map of Old Forge

About this map

Old Forge sits at the heart of this landscape, where the Middle Branch Moose River connects the western reach of the Fulton Chain Lakes. The settlement patterns here are defined by the water and the rising Adirondack peaks, with the village layout extending from Lakeside Ter and Crosby Blvd toward the Old Forge Airport. To the southwest, the hamlet of Thendara serves as a secondary hub near Nicks Lake, while more isolated developments like Mountain Lodge are tucked between Little Moose Lake and the slopes of McCauley Mountain. The geography is characterized by a dense network of high-elevation water bodies and interconnected streams, including Limekiln Creek and the South Branch Moose River. Significant local landmarks for researchers include Riverview Cem and the trail systems like the Old Indian Trl and Tobie Trl, which reflect the region's long-standing identity as a center for forest recreation and mountain transit.
