1997 Map of Page Mountain

About this map

Speculator sits at the southern edge of this wilderness survey, marking the primary point of settlement where the Sacandaga River flows toward Sacandaga Lake. The landscape is defined by the convergence of several major water systems, including the Miami River and the Kunjamuk River, which meander through a network of clearings and timbered slopes. Notable clearings like Indian Clearing, Perkins Clearing, and Perrys Clearing suggest a history of seasonal human activity or logging operations within the Adirondack Park boundaries. The terrain is marked by distinctive peaks such as Page Mountain, Oak Mtn, and Dug Mountain, while more secluded landmarks like Kunjamuk Cave and the waters of Christine Falls and Austin Falls indicate a region shaped by significant river descent and natural geologic features. This late-twentieth-century study documents the remote nature of the Lake Pleasant and Wells townships during a period of established conservation.
