About this map

Adirondack Park lands define the landscape of this Essex County region, where the high peaks and dense forest give way to the headwaters of several major waterways. The drainage divide is visible here, as the N Fork Boquet River and S Fork Boquet River flow northward, while the Schroon River moves south toward the Hudson basin. The small settlement of Underwood sits along the road network, serving as a gateway to the high elevation interior.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the North Hudson Cem near the southern boundary, while hikers and researchers of the forest's recreational development can trace the W Mill Brook Trl as it winds through the peaks. Numerous named bodies of water like Cranberry Pond, Makomis Pond, and the Moss Ponds highlight the glacial geography that has shaped the area's timber and tourism history for over a century.
