2016 Map of Owls Head

About this map

Chasm Falls and the surrounding northern reaches of the Adirondack Park define this landscape of interconnected waterways and sharp elevation changes. The Salmon River cuts through the terrain, creating distinctive features like The Bend and the Oxbow near Needles Eye. Small settlements such as Owls Head and Mountain View are clustered near the shorelines of Mountain View Lake and Indian Lake, while more isolated locales like Porcaville sit deeper in the woods. Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved on this sheet, including Saint Helen's Cem and the Hoose Cem. The terrain is dominated by high ridges, specifically the Goldsmith Range and Plumadore Range, which overlook a network of seasonal streams and wetlands like Huckleberry Marsh.
