About this map

Santanoni Peak and the high summits of the Santanoni Mountains dominate this high-elevation landscape in the early 21st century. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage systems, including the westward-flowing Cold River and numerous high-altitude basins like Moose Pond and Newcomb Lake. The area reflects a primitive state of development, with human infrastructure largely limited to the periphery, such as Newcomb Lake Rd in the southeast.

Water features like Millers Falls and the Eddy along the river suggest the varied hydrological character of this mountain environment. Researchers can trace the intricate connections between isolated peaks like Couchsachraga Peak and Panther Peak, alongside the complex flow of the Newcomb River as it exits the southern lake systems. The presence of Wolf Pond and Deer Pond highlights the abundance of small, interior water bodies characteristic of this protected New York wilderness.
