About this map

Wheelertown and North Wilmurt anchor this highland landscape in the southern Adirondacks, where the headwaters of the Black River and numerous tributaries carve through the terrain of Herkimer and Oneida counties. The area is defined by its water and woods, from the sprawling Quagmire Swamp to the high-elevation Stone Dam Lake situated beneath Stone Dam Mountain. The settlement pattern follows a network of rural roads like Farr Rd and Wheelertown Rd, with the Wheelertown Cem serving as a significant genealogical marker for the local community.

Water management and natural drainage are central to the geography here, with the North Branch Little Black Creek and Little Woodhull Creek winding between prominent peaks such as Finn Hill and Meyers Hill. To the west, the boundary between Oneida Co and Herkimer Co cuts across the drainage of Halt Creek and Muskrat Brook, illustrating the intersection of natural topography and political boundaries.
