2019 Map of Owls Head

About this map

Chasm Falls and the surrounding Adirondack foothills define this landscape, where the Salmon River cuts through prominent peaks like Titusville Mtn and Owls Head. The terrain is marked by significant elevation changes, from the heights of the Goldsmith Range and Plumadore Range in the southeast to the marshy lowlands of Huckleberry Marsh and Oxbow. This geography dictated the placement of small settlements and transportation corridors, such as Co Rte 27 and Co HWY 41, which wind through the gaps between Studley Hill and Owls Head Pinnacle. For those researching local history or genealogy, the map identifies several significant burial grounds, including Chasm Falls Methodist Cem, Saint Helen's Cem, and Hoose Cem. These features, alongside landmarks like Needles Eye and High Falls, provide a clear picture of the community's relationship with the northern forest and river systems.
