About this map

Paradox Lake dominates the southern landscape of this Adirondack region, flanked by the communities of Severance and Paradox. To the north, the Schroon River winds alongside the major highway corridor, passing through North Hudson and past Schroon River Cem. The terrain is defined by a dense network of high-elevation water bodies and named peaks, including Moose Mountain Pond, Johnson Pond, and Bald Pate.

Genealogists can identify localized historical sites such as Pine Ridge Cem near Black Brook and the small settlement of Little Canada tucked away near Schofield Hill. The map detail captures the intersection of recreation and small-town residency, showing numerous private ways like Ledge Way and Skyhigh Rd that provide access to the lakefront, while more remote reaches like Indian Ridge and Long Sue reflect the primitive character of the surrounding forest preserve.
