About this map

Adirondack Park lands define the character of this Eastern Adirondack landscape, where the iron-rich history of the region is written into the settlement patterns of Mineville and Witherbee. The terrain is a complex arrangement of summits and water bodies, ranging from the high points of Belfry Mountain and Armstrong Mountain to the clustered waters of Lincoln Pond and Ensign Pond. Local road networks like Fisher Hill Rd and Dalton Hill Rd connect these industrial-origin hamlets, tracing the routes between residential pockets and the surrounding forest.

The southern portion of the quadrangle transitions into more open water systems such as Tub Mill Pond, Rockport Pond, and Big Lock Pond. These features, along with the Saints Peter and Paul Cemetery near Moriah Center, offer significant detail for researchers documenting the community layout of the Moriah area. The presence of numerous brooks, including Newport Brook and Mill Brook, illustrates the drainage patterns that once supported local industry and early Adirondack settlement.
