About this map

Big Moose Lake and the Chain Lakes anchor this late-twentieth-century study of the central Adirondack Park. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of glacial water bodies, from the sprawling Stillwater Res in the northwest to secluded basins like Queer Lake and Pigeon Lake. Small settlements and seasonal outposts such as Big Moose, Eagle Bay, and Camp Rondaxe are connected by a sparse road network, reflecting the area's enduring character as a destination for recreation and forestry.

Evidence of the region's transport and industrial history appears at Carter Station and a local Gravel Pit. The terrain rises toward numerous summits including Twitchell Mtn, Rocky Mtn, and Eagle Mountain, while the boundary between Herkimer Co and Hamilton Co bisects the lakes. This survey documents the complex hydrology of the Beaver River and Moose River watersheds just before the turn of the millennium.
