2016 Map of Nehasane Lake

About this map

Nehasane Lake and the winding Beaver River define this high-altitude landscape where the boundary between Hamilton and Herkimer counties cuts through dense Adirondack forests. Small clearings such as Partlow, Keepawa, and Brandreth suggest a quiet, localized history of seasonal habitation or forestry management along the water's edge. The hydrography is particularly complex, featuring a network of isolated water bodies like Shingle Shanty Pond, Terror Lake, and the sprawling Stillwater Reservoir to the west. Peaks like Mt Electra and Albany Mtn rise above the drainage basins of Shingle Shanty Brook and Alder Creek, illustrating the drainage patterns that feed into the larger reservoir systems of the region. Access to these remote reaches is limited to specialized routes such as Thayer Lake Rd and Shingle Shanty Rd, emphasizing the area's isolation from major development.
