2019 Map of Willsboro

About this map

The Boquet River meanders through this portion of Essex County, defining the valley floor where the settlements of Willsboro, Boquet, and Whallonsburg were established. The landscape transitions quickly from these riverside communities to the high peaks of the Adirondack Park, including Sugarloaf Mtn, North Boquet Mtn, and South Boquet Mtn. Local genealogy is well-represented through scattered burial sites such as Boardman Cem and Guilderland Cem, which sit alongside historic transport routes like Co Hwy 27 and Main St. The map illustrates a contemporary view of these traditional hamlets, where small-scale infrastructure like Bonebender Airport and the expansive Webb Royce Swamp neighbor the protected forest lands of the Adirondack Park Preserve.
