About this map

The Adirondack Park dominates this landscape, where the boundary between Hamilton and Fulton Counties cuts through a dense network of high-elevation water bodies. Central to this topography is Canada Lake, flanked by West Lake and the smaller Green Lake. The area reflects a classic wilderness pattern, with minimal road development concentrated around the lakefronts and the small settlement of Arietta to the north.

Evidence of early industrial use and resource management appears in labels like Waters Millpond and the Aqueduct along Sprite Creek. The terrain is defined by prominent peaks including Good Luck Mountain and Kane Mountain, while numerous smaller basins like Nine Corner Lake and Spectacle Lake fill the valleys. To the southwest, Stewart Landing marks a point of access on the winding water system, serving as a gateway for those navigating the protected State Forest Preserve during this era of 20th-century conservation.
