About this map

The Raquette River winds through the northern reaches of the Adirondack Park in this 2016 survey, defining a landscape dominated by interconnected waterways and significant elevation changes. The settlement of Piercefield serves as a central hub, situated near the Piercefield Flow and the local Saint Paul Cem. To the southwest, the smaller communities of Conifer and Mount Arab are positioned near Mount Arab Lake and the prominent peak of Arab Mtn.

Water is the primary geographic feature, from the large expanse of Raquette Pond and Eagle Crag Lake to smaller basins like Gull Pond and Minnow Pond. Numerous islands, such as Norway Island and Green Island, are mapped along the St. Lawrence and Franklin county line. This modern topographic record captures the area's transition between managed forest lands and protected wilderness, specifically within the Adirondack Park Preserve.
