Elevations which furnish views of distant mountains, particularly those of Essex county. 
From most of the high hills about Warrensburgh, fine panoramic views may be obtained of 
the neighboring counties. One of the most accessible elevations is about a mile or a mile and 
a half south from the village of Warrensburgh ; it is called Harrington’s hill, or Prospect hill. 
It is only about nine hundred feet high, and yet it commands on all sides an extensive or wide 
range of vision. One of the most prominent objects is Crane’s mountain in Athol. Lake 
George, with the Black mountains, appear in the east, and the mountains of Schroon and 
Ticonderoga or Crown Point, with Bluebeard or Pharaoh’s mountain in the northeast; and 
in addition to these, a remarkably long ridge of a peculiar shape appears in the western 
part of Schroon. But it is to the north that the rugged features of a mountainous district 
appear in bold relief. Mount Marcy is the most prominent object in this direction; and 
from the summit of Prospect hill, the ragged ridges seem to extend away to the northeast 
and southwest. Several points of mountains just peer up behind the northeastern prolonga¬ 
tion ; they are the sharp conical peaks near the sources of the Ausable in Keene. The view 
from this hill is probably as widely extended as any in the State, except from a few of the 
highest summits. This hill, in consequence of being so accessible, has its importance
