Nye Mountain
Template:Short description Template:Use mdy dates
Nye Mountain is a mountain located in Essex County, New York, named after William B. Nye (c.1815–1893), an Adirondack mountain guide. Nye Mountain is part of the Street Range of the Adirondack Mountains; it is flanked to the southwest by Street Mountain.
Nye Mountain stands within the watershed of the West Branch of the Ausable River, which drains into Lake Champlain, thence into Canada's Richelieu River, the Saint Lawrence River, and into the Gulf of Saint Lawrence. The west side of Nye Mtn. drains into the headwaters of the Chubb River, thence into the West Branch. The north end of Nye Mtn. drains into the Chubb River. The east side of Nye Mtn. drains into the northern Indian Pass Brook, thence into the Ausable's West Branch.
Nye Mountain is within New York's Adirondack Park.
According to the 1901 USGS survey, Nye Mountain's elevation was Script error: No such module "convert"., and its peak was Script error: No such module "convert". above the col separating it from Street Mountain — more than the Script error: No such module "convert". of elevation and Script error: No such module "convert". of prominence needed to qualify for inclusion on the list of the Adirondack High Peaks. However, the 1953 survey measured the elevation to be only Script error: No such module "convert".. The 1999 survey measured the nominal summit at Script error: No such module "Coordinates". to be only 1,170–1,180 m (3,839–3,871 ft) — less than a point Script error: No such module "convert". south along the ridge to Street.[1] Although Nye and three other mountains are no longer thought to meet the Adirondack Mountain Club's qualifications for the list of High Peaks, the club has chosen to keep the traditional list of peaks, without updating.
