2013 Map of Black Creek Lake

About this map

West Canada Cr carves through the southern landscape of this Herkimer County region, defining the area's sharp topography at the Ohio Gorge. The small settlement of Wilmurt sits near the riverbanks, serving as a rare point of habitation in a terrain otherwise dominated by high peaks and an intricate network of waterways. Elevation ranges from the heights of Forty Mtn and McCauley Mtn down to numerous isolated basins like Black Cr Lake and Cotton Lake. The map reveals a remote geography of the Adirondack foothills, where transportation is limited to specialized routes such as Black River Trl and the curiously named Hooper Dooper Ave. This 2013 survey provides a detailed view of the drainage patterns for the Middle Br Little Black Cr and Twin Lakes Stream, showing a landscape where water and timber define the local character.
