About this map

Saranac Inn and the southern hamlet of Wawbeek serve as the primary human touchpoints in this 2016 survey of Franklin County. The landscape is a dense network of glacial water bodies within the Adirondack Park, where large lakes like Lake Clear and Follensby Clear Pond are surrounded by dozens of smaller, named kettle ponds including Hoel Pond, Polliwog Pond, and Saint Regis Pond.

Transport is defined by a mix of established routes like Co Hwy 46 and more specific access ways such as Bartlett Carry Rd, which hints at the historical portage routes between major waterways. Numerous named islands and points, such as Buck Island, Eagle Island, and Markham Point, mark the irregular shoreline of Upper Saranac Lake, while the northern reaches are dominated by the W Br Saint Regis River and the Adirondack Park Preserve.
