About this map

Speculator and the expansive waters of Raquette Lake anchor this 2023 survey of the Adirondack wilderness. The map documents a complex network of glacial ponds and interconnecting waterways, including the Marion River which flows between Raquette Lake and Utowana Lake. To the south, Sagamore Lake sits near the headwaters of the South Inlet, surrounded by significant terrain features like Estelle Mountain and Buck Mountain.

Modern recreational infrastructure is meticulously detailed through a series of backcountry paths, such as the Lower Sargent Pond Trl, Middle Sargent Ponds Trl, and Upper Sargent Pond Trl. These routes, along with the Slim Pond Trl and Helm's Pond Trl, provide essential data for modern land management and historical comparison of trail development. The topography is defined by prominent peaks including Squirrel Top and Green Top, framing the numerous smaller water bodies like Aluminum Pond and Haymarsh Pond that characterize this high-elevation landscape.
