2019 Map of Black Creek Lake

About this map

West Canada Creek and the Black River define the hydraulic character of this Herkimer County landscape, where an intricate network of vlys, marshes, and glacial lakes dominates the terrain. The presence of numerous small water bodies such as Bullhead Pond, White Lead Lake, and the expansive Twin Lakes Marsh suggests a wilderness area characterized by significant wetlands and seasonal drainage patterns. High points like McCauley Mtn and Lawson Top provide the relief that separates these diverse watersheds. Human activity is represented by just a few corridors, notably N Lake Rd and Furlong Rd, which offer the primary access to these interior waters. The map is particularly useful for identifying minor landmarks like Wells Vly and Crosby Vly, which are critical for local history and geographic orientation in this remote Adirondack-fringe region.
