2016 Map of Saranac Lake

About this map

Saranac Lake and the surrounding Adirondack high country are defined by a complex network of glacial lakes and mountain peaks. This 2016 survey documents the village as it sits at the edge of Lake Flower, acting as a gateway to the extensive waterways of Lower Saranac Lake and Middle Saranac Lake. The map reveals a landscape where recreation and geography are inseparable, from the slopes of Mt Pisgah and Dewey Mtn to the many islands like Fern Island and Eagle Island that dot the lakes. The presence of Saint Bernards Cem and Saint Johns Cem provides essential points of reference for local genealogy, while the boundary between Essex and Franklin counties bisects the northeastern corner. Beyond the village, smaller settlements like Lake Clear and numerous ponds such as McCauley Pond and Kiwassa Lake illustrate the density of the region's hydrography.
