2023 Map of West Pierrepont

About this map

West Pierrepont serves as the primary settlement in this corner of St. Lawrence County, situated where the northern foothills of the Adirondacks meet the Grass River watershed. The landscape is defined by the descent of water toward the St. Lawrence Valley, evidenced by notable drops at Lampson Falls, Harper Falls, and Pelkys Falls. Within the Adirondack Park Preserve, a network of modern recreation paths like Grandma's Climb Trl and Bucky's Loop Trl wind through the timbered terrain. This 2023 survey illustrates a rural landscape where traditional settlements like Elm Flat and Burns Flat persist alongside remote landmarks such as Moores Airport and the high points of Barbour Hill and Backus Hill. The transition from upland ponds like Boyd Pond and Clear Lake to the meandering branches of the river system highlights the region's enduring drainage patterns.
