2016 Map of Pharaoh Mountain

About this map

Pharaoh Mountain anchors this Adirondack landscape, where the high peaks of the Pharaoh Lake Wilderness meet the eastern shores of Schroon Lake. The terrain is defined by a dense network of high-elevation water bodies and complex drainage patterns, including the massive Harrison Marsh and the isolated Desolate Swamp. To the northwest, the Schroon Lake Airport sits near the base of Owls Head, marking the transition from the settled lakeside corridor into the more interior highlands. The map reveals a numbered series of summits such as Number Six Hill and Number Seven Hill stretching toward the boundary between Essex Co and Warren Co. This survey documents the modern state of these protected lands, showing the many interior ponds like Crane Pond and Whortleberry Pond that remain accessible only by a limited network of remote roads like Crane Pond Rd.
