About this map

Wakely Mountain and the high ridges of Hamilton County dominate this modern topographical survey, which traces the complex drainage systems of the Central Adirondacks. The headwaters and tributaries of the South Branch Moose River and the Cedar River carve through a landscape of significant peaks, including Payne Mountain, Cellar Mountain, and Bradley Mountain. This area is characterized by its network of backcountry access points, with the long-distance Northville Lake Placid Trl traversing the northern section near Silver Run.

Hydrographically, the map provides detail on numerous high-elevation water bodies such as Little Moose Lake, Lake Kora, and Home Pond. The presence of established routes like Moose River Rd and various specialized paths like the Otter Brook Trl and Cellar Pond Trl illustrates the contemporary management of this wilderness. This map is essential for understanding the modern footprint of hiking infrastructure and drainage patterns around Wilson Ridge and Little Moose Mountain.
