2013 Map of Jerseyfield Lake

About this map

Jerseyfield Lake lies at the heart of this Herkimer County landscape, surrounded by a dense network of watercourses and isolated forest clearings. The terrain is defined by a complex drainage system, where Stony Brook and Mill Cr wind through the southern reaches, while Twomile Brook and Fourmile Brook dominate the north. These waterways converge and split across a territory largely devoid of major modern infrastructure, instead marked by historical landmarks like New Holland Clearing, California Clearing, and Lafe Hall Clearing. Local elevations are anchored by Mosquito Hill, which overlooks the smaller water bodies of Deer Lake and Mounts Gr Lake. The distribution of named clearings and remote ponds suggests a history of forest management and seasonal camps, characteristic of the Adirondack foothills before more intensive development reached the deeper woods.
