About this map

The Hudson River carves a central path through this section of the Adirondack Park, where the landscape is defined by its complex network of waterways and prominent peaks. Near the northern reach of the river, the Tahawus Club and the settlement of Winebrook Hills mark the limited human footprint in this mountainous region. The convergence of the Newcomb River and Hyslop Brook with the Hudson highlights the area's significance as a watershed.

Genealogists and local historians will note the Newcomb Cemetery situated near the intersection of State Hwy 28N 58N and Santononi Dr. Southward, the terrain rises sharply toward Vanderwhacker Mountain, while the southeastern corner is drained by the Boreas River and Stony Pond Brook. Named landmarks like Roosevelt Hill and Elm Hill provide specific points of reference for those tracing historical land use and early access routes such as Tahawus Rd.
