Verplanck Publishing

Cortland, New York · Est. 2026

Small, careful things for people who spend their time outdoors.

Verplanck Publishing is an independent press named for the surveyor who spent thirty years measuring the Adirondacks. We make field references for the North Country, and we make them slowly.

Made by people who use them

Everything we publish gets carried, rained on, and argued with before it ships. If we wouldn't take it past the trailhead, it isn't done.

Sources named

Where a fact comes from an agency, a survey, or a report, we say so. Corrections are welcome and credited.

Small on purpose

One title at a time. No bundles, no upsells, nothing that exists to be sold to someone else later.


First title

In preparation.

Our first title is in the works. We'll say more when it's ready to be used, not before. If you'd like to hear when that is, send a note and we'll keep a short list.
