2013 Map of Rocky Peak Ridge

About this map

Rocky Peak Ridge and Giant Mtn dominate this high-elevation landscape in the eastern Adirondacks, providing a detailed look at the drainage patterns of the Boquet River watershed as it existed in 2013. The terrain is defined by a dense concentration of summits including Hurricane Mtn, Pitchoff Mtn, and Bald Peak, while the valleys are marked by distinctive water features like Marie Louise Pond, Chapel Pond, and the cascading Split Rock Falls. The map documents a network of rural routes such as Hurricane Rd and Crowningshield Ln that provide access to the interior. This study of the Essex County wilderness reveals the complex relationship between the steep ridges and the numerous brooks, such as Beede Brook and Roaring Brook, that carve through the mountain passes and notches like Conners Notch.
