2019 Map of Vanderwhacker Mountain

About this map

The Hudson River carves through the northern reaches of this Adirondack landscape, where the rugged topography of Essex County is defined by the North River Mountains and the prominent peak of Vanderwhacker Mtn. Within the Adirondack Park Preserve, the map reveals a complex network of high-elevation water bodies and drainages, including Hyslop Pond, Vanderwhacker Pond, and the southern flow of the Boreas River toward Stillwater. Local history is anchored by the Saint Therese Cem situated near the intersection of Blueridge Rd and Co Hwy 28. The distribution of seasonal access roads like Moose Pond Club Rd and Campsite Rd suggests the area's long-standing role for timber management and wilderness recreation, while landmarks such as Hewitt Eddy and Moose Pond identify specific points of interest for those tracing the traditional geography of the Minerva region.
