2013 Map of Pharaoh Mountain

About this map

Pharaoh Mountain rises as the central landmark of this Adirondack region, overlooking a complex network of glacial ponds and wetlands. The landscape is defined by its water, from the winding Schroon River and the northern tip of Schroon Lake to the secluded Pharaoh Lake and Pyramid Lake. This terrain is characterized by numerous small peaks and hills, many named for local families or simple numbers, such as Franks Hill, Smith and Leland Hill, and Number Eight Hill. To the northwest, the Schroon Lake Airport provides a modern point of access, while roads like Adirondack Rd and Crane Pond Rd offer entry into the wooded interior. The abundance of water bodies like Glidden Marsh, Whortleberry Pond, and Spectacle Pond highlights the region's natural drainage patterns centered around Mill Brook and Sucker Brook.
