About this map

Page Mountain and the surrounding Adirondack highlands are defined by a complex network of waterways and remote clearings. The Miami River and Jessup River snake through the landscape, feeding into larger bodies such as Indian Lake and Sacandaga Lake. The presence of several named clearings, including Perkins Clearing, Indian Clearing, and Perrys Clearing, indicates a history of forest management and early settlement patterns where open land was a rarity.

Old thoroughfares like Military Rd and Jessup River Rd provide access to the interior, where more isolated sites such as Sled Harbor and the Miami River Leanto are found. The topography is dotted with family-named peaks and ridges, including Sturges Hill, Potash Mountain, and Carpenter Hill. For the local historian, the numbered camps such as Camp Number Twenty-two and Camp Number Nineteen offer a glimpse into the organized forestry or recreational heritage of this Hamilton County region.
