About this map

Saranac Inn and the southern hamlet of Wawbeek anchor this survey of the High Peaks region's water-connected landscape. The map details a complex network of glacial ponds and portages, most notably the historic Bartletts Carry which connects Upper Saranac Lake toward the east. The terrain is defined by an intricate puzzle of peninsulas and islands, including Eagle Island and Buck Island, surrounded by deep-water bays like Fish Creek Bay and Gilpin Bay.

To the north, the Adirondack Fish Hatchery is situated near Little Clear Pond, reflecting the area's long-standing focus on conservation and recreational fishing. Significant water bodies such as Lake Clear, Follensby Clear Pond, and Hoel Pond dominate the western half of the sheet. The network of local routes like Floodwood Rd and Hoel Pond Rd trace the narrow strips of land between these sprawling waterways, illustrating the traditional access points for generations of Adirondack travelers.
