2010 Map of Owls Head

About this map

The Salmon River carves through the heart of this landscape, its path defined by distinctive geological formations like The Bend, the Needles Eye, and the sharp curve of the Oxbow. Within the boundaries of the Adirondack Park, several small settlements are connected by a network of rural routes, including the communities of Owls Head, Mountain View, and Porcaville. The topography is marked by several prominent ridges and peaks, from the Owls Head Range in the north to the Plumadore Range and Goldsmith Range in the south. For local historians, the Hoose Cemetery on Ayers Rd provides a specific point of genealogical interest, while the large recreational waters of Indian Lake and Mountain View Lake highlight the area's transition into a seasonal destination. High elevations at Titusville Mountain and Peak Mountain overlook the many feeder streams, such as Hatch Brook and Duane Stream, that drain into the Debar Pond basin.
