1989 Map of Beavers River

About this map

Stillwater Reservoir dominates the lower-left quadrant of this interior Adirondack Park survey, where the Beaver River settlement sits at the end of a long, isolated road network. The landscape is a dense network of water bodies and high peaks, including Clear Lake, Witchhopple Lake, and Mt Electra. This region of the North Country shows the infrastructure of seasonal residency and remote life, with small outposts like Norridgewock and Brandreth positioned along the Old Railroad Grade. This decommissioned rail line provides a clear historical trace of how loggers and travelers once accessed the remote central Adirondacks before modern vehicle travel became the primary mode of transit. Farther north, the map details the intricate shorelines of Nehasane Lake and Lila Lake, punctuated by landmarks such as Mosquito Island and Buck Island.
