2023 Map of Beaver River

About this map

Beaver River sits at the heart of this landscape, positioned along the southern banks of the Stillwater Reservoir. This area is defined by an intricate network of waterways and glacial ponds, from Salmon Lake and Witchhopple Lake in the interior to Gun Harbor on the reservoir's edge. The presence of numerous named water bodies, including Upper Beech Ridge Pond and Lost Island Pond, reflects a terrain where water dictates movement and settlement. Navigation through this lake-rich region relies on established pathways such as the Red Horse Trl and Norridgewock Trl, which connect the remote interior ponds to the central reservoir. The northern reaches are shaped by the Middle Branch Oswegatchie River, while the southern area is marked by Little Rapids. This survey captures the modern character of this Adirondack region, where the balance between the vast reservoir and smaller secluded lakes like Ginger Pond and Hidden Lake remains the primary geographical feature.
