About this map

Adirondack Park lands dominate this topographic survey, showcasing a wilderness area defined by high peaks and an intricate drainage network. The terrain is anchored by the prominent Hurricane Mountain to the north and the namesake Rocky Peak Ridge to the south. Water flows through the landscape via substantial corridors like the Boquet River and The Branch, while smaller alpine features such as Marie Louise Pond and Chapel Pond occupy the deep valleys between summits.

Surface transportation is limited to a few arterial routes and historical paths. State Hwy 73 Scen cuts through the southwestern corner, providing access to the high peaks, while Old Military Rd skirts the northeastern boundary. The map captures the area's transition into the 21st century, where human footprints like Crowningshield Rd and Scriver Rd are sparse, leaving the focus on the natural landmarks of the High Peaks region, including Owls Head Lookout and Bald Peak.
