About this map

The Adirondack Park interior within Webb and Greig is defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes and feeder streams during the late 1980s. The settlement of Thendara serves as a primary point of human activity in this landscape, while more isolated locations like Spruce Ridge Camp and Minnehaha are tucked away along the Moose River Mountain foothills. The terrain is notably dense with water bodies including Big Otter Lake, Pine Lake, and Copper Lake, many of which are connected by small waterways like Crooked Creek and Otter Creek.

Tracing the border between Lewis and Herkimer Counties, the map reveals a landscape managed for conservation and limited recreational access. The presence of a lookout tower on Moose River Mountain suggests the area's history of fire observation, while named locations like Hubbards point to localized landmarks within the park's expanse. For those studying the geography of northern New York, this survey details the complex drainage patterns into the Middle Branch and beyond.
