About this map

The dense forests and winding waterways of the Adirondack Park define this landscape along the border of St. Lawrence and Franklin Counties. Small settlements like Piercefield and Conifer are situated near the Raquette River, while the southern reaches are dominated by the sprawling waters of Tupper Lake. The map reveals a high concentration of recreational and industrial markers, including Mountain Camp and several resource extraction sites labeled as Gravel Pit and Sand Pit.

Navigational and topographic landmarks such as the Lookout Tower atop Mt Arab provide vertical context for the surrounding peaks, including Buck Mountain and Wheeler Mountain. The intricate hydrology of the region is well-documented, from the Grass River Flow to secluded bodies like Eagle Crag Lake and Massawepie Lake. The Presence of Childwold Station and various 4wd trails suggests a history of remote access and mountain travel during the late 20th century.
