2016 Map of Spruce Lake Mountain

About this map

Spruce Lake Mtn and W Canada Mtn dominate this high-elevation interior landscape within the Adirondacks. The area is defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes and mountain streams, centered on the drainage of West Canada Creek and its distinctive features like First Stillwater and Second Stillwater. This 2016 survey documents a region nearly devoid of human infrastructure, focusing instead on the complex topography and hydrography that shapes the backcountry. Significant water bodies such as Brooktrout Lake, Northrup Lake, and the remote Mica Lakes are connected by numerous smaller tributaries including Wolf Cr and Muskrat Cr. The mapping of these remote waters and peaks provides essential detail for those navigating or studying the hydrologic patterns of the Indian River headwaters and the surrounding wilderness peaks.
