About this map

Whitehouse serves as the primary point of human settlement in this high-altitude landscape where the West Branch Sacandaga River carves a winding path through the Adirondack peaks. The geography is defined by a dense network of mountain summits and remote water bodies, including the aptly named Big Hedgehog Mountain, Three Sisters Mountain, and Jackson Summit.

Backcountry access is marked by the presence of the Mud Lake Lean-to and Silver Lake Lean-to, suggesting a terrain managed for recreation and conservation. Water is the dominant force here, from the steady course of Ninemile Creek and Goldmine Creek to the marshy expanse of Whiteman Flow and the isolated heights of Meco Lake and White Lake. This topographic study captures a region where road infrastructure like W River Rd remains minimal, deferring to the natural drainage patterns of the North Branch West Branch Sacandaga River.
