2013 Map of Sargent Ponds

About this map

Silver Beach serves as a focal point for settlement and recreation in this high-resolution study of the Central Adirondack wilderness. The landscape is defined by its intricate drainage networks, where the Marion River connects Raquette Lake to the elongated basin of Utowana Lake. To the south, high points such as Estelle Mtn, Buck Mtn, and Squirrel Top overlook a series of secluded water bodies, including Slim Pond and Sagamore Lake. Public land use is documented along the western shore, specifically at the Golden Beach State Campground, reached via State Park Rd. The map illustrates a contemporary balance between remote natural features like Death Brook and Loon Brook and the managed access points that characterize this region of Hamilton County, providing a clear record of the area's geography and water-level topography.
