2010 Map of South Pond Mountain

About this map

Siamese Ponds and the high peaks of the Adirondacks dominate this 2010 topographic record of Johnsburg, New York. The landscape is defined by its complex drainage systems, where the East Branch Sacandaga River and the Kunjamuk River carve paths through a succession of named summits, including Big Shanty Mountain and South Pond Mountain. Remnants of human activity in this heavily forested terrain are visible in named open spaces like Burnt Shanty Clearing and Curtis Clearing, which stand out against the surrounding wilderness. The presence of numerous water bodies like Hayes Flow, Buckhorn Ponds, and Cod Pond reflects the saturated, high-elevation environment of the Blue Hills. This survey provides essential detail for researchers studying the intersection of historical clearings and the enduring hydrography of Warren County.
