2016 Map of Vanderwhacker Mountain

About this map

Vanderwhacker Mtn dominates the southern landscape of this terrain, where the upper Hudson River and Boreas River converge within the Adirondack Park Preserve. The 2016 survey illustrates a sparsely populated wilderness where human presence is marked primarily by small landmarks like the Newcomb Cem and the river-side location at Stillwater. Transportation follows established corridors such as Blue Ridge Rd and Lower Works Rd, providing access to the numerous water bodies that define the region, including Newcomb Lake, Moose Pond, and Vanderwhacker Pond. The map reveals an intricate hydrographic network, from the wide Beaver Flow to narrow channels like Moose Pond Brook and Stony Pond Brook. This modern topographic study is essential for understanding the contemporary geography of the High Peaks region and the preservation of its interior water systems.
