2019 Map of Piercefield

About this map

Piercefield sits at the heart of this high-resolution topographical study, where the Raquette River expands into the wide waters of Piercefield Flow and Raquette Pond. The landscape is defined by the dense water network of the Adirondack Park, featuring isolated bodies like Eagle Crag Lake and the Black Ponds tucked between significant elevations such as Arab Mtn. Local history is anchored by the settlement of Conifer and the Saint Paul Cem, while the county boundary between Franklin and St. Lawrence counties bisects the southern reaches of the pond near County Line Island. This map documents a contemporary state of these northern woodlands, showing the modern road network including State Rte 421 and various local routes like Setting Pole Dam Rd that provide access to the remote bays and points of the lakeshore.
