2019 Map of Ragged Lake

About this map

Wolf Pond and the Salmon River headwaters anchor this modern survey of the northern Adirondack wilderness in Bellmont. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of water bodies and named peaks, including Ragged Lake, Mountain Pond, and the heights of Sugarloaf Mtn. The map reveals the infrastructure supporting this remote area, from the D & H Rd—recalling the legacy of the Delaware and Hudson Railroad—to specialized access points like Bryant Siding Rd near Bryants Mill. These labels point to a history of timber and transport that shaped the Adirondack Park interior. Further south, the Plumadore Range and Plumadore Pond dominate the terrain, connected by the Plumadore Outlet to the broader watershed. This survey provides a clear view of the modern boundaries and naming conventions within the Adirondack Park Preserve, including family-named landmarks like Whipple Hill and Brand Pinnacle.
