About this map

Adirondack Park lands dominate this Essex County landscape, where the high peaks and dense hydrography of the high country meet the upper reaches of the Schroon River. The small settlement of Underwood sits at a critical junction where the Boquet River headwaters descend from the northern slopes. The map details a transition from the rugged summits of Split Rock Mtn and Catamount Mtn to the marshy lowlands surrounding Stump Pond and Shingletree Pond.

Genealogists and local historians can trace the proximity of the North Hudson Cem to the winding course of the Schroon River, while recreational researchers can identify the early routes of the Dix Wilderness Trl and W Mill Brook Trl. The dense network of water bodies, including Ledge Pond and the N Fork Boquet River, illustrates the complex drainage patterns that historically defined land use and movement through this protected wilderness corridor.
