About this map

Honnedaga Lake and its surrounding wilderness define this portion of the Adirondack Park in the late 1980s. The landscape is dominated by a complex network of glacial lakes and river headwaters, including the North Lake, South Lake, and the sprawling Woodhull Lake. Small outposts and camps like Atwell and Bisby Lodge represent the limited human footprint in this densely forested region of Ohio and Webb townships.

The presence of the South Branch Black River and the Middle Branch Black River highlights the area's role as a vital watershed. Named topographic features such as Canachagala Mountain, Ice Cave Valley, and the Raymond Hills suggest a varied terrain of high ridges and deep valleys. For the local historian, the map preserves locations like Herkimer Landing and various named brooks and ponds that have long served as points of reference for those navigating this remote interior.
