2013 Map of Shelving Rock

About this map

The eastern shore of Lake George is dominated by the protected terrain of the Adirondack Park Preserve, where the landscape rises sharply from the water toward Black Mountain and Elephant Mountain. This 2013 survey details the complex archipelago of the lake, including the Mother Bunch Islands, Sagamore Island, and the storied Floating Battery Island. While the rugged western half of the map is defined by peaks like Shelving Rock Mountain and First Peak, the southeastern corner shows the small settlement of Hogtown and the waters of South Bay. This area maintains a character of limited development, with access primarily provided by routes like Shelving Rock Rd and Hogtown Rd, which connect the scattered high-country ponds like Bumps Pond and Fishbrook Pond to the lower valley brooks.
