2013 Map of Whitehouse

About this map

Whitehouse sits at the northern edge of this high-wilderness landscape, a remote outpost where the W Br Sacandaga River winds through the southern Adirondacks. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent peaks and ridges, including Big Hedgehog Mtn, Sugarloaf Mtn, and the Blue Ridge Mtn range to the southeast. This region is a preserve for backcountry travelers, marked by primitive shelters like the Mud Lake Lean-to and Silver Lake Lean-to along the network of water bodies. The hydrology is complex, with numerous high-elevation basins such as Silver Lake, Meco Lake, and the Loomis Ponds feeding into the drainage system of the Adirondack Park Preserve. Only the W River Rd penetrates the northern forest, emphasizing the isolation of the valley at this time.
