2013 Map of Bisby Lakes

About this map

Atwell serves as a remote settlement node within this high-altitude landscape of the Adirondack region, situated at the edge of North Lake. The terrain is defined by a dense network of glacial lakes and headwater streams, including the southern reaches of the Black River and its various branches. To the north, Bisby Lodge sits near the Bisby Lakes chain, a cluster including First Lake and Second Lake tucked between Trusty Mtn and Rose Mtn. This area reflects a legacy of seasonal residency and wilderness management, where roads like Bisby Rd and S Lake Rd provide the only access through the heavily forested mountain passes. Significant water bodies such as Woodhull Lake and Canachagala Lake dominate the geography, fed by numerous small tributaries like Grindstone Cr and Ice Cave Cr, which carve through features like the Ice Cave Valley and the slopes of Golden Stair Mtn.
