2019 Map of Spruce Lake Mountain

About this map

Spruce Lake Mtn and West Canada Mtn anchor this high-elevation landscape in Hamilton County, where a dense network of glacial water bodies feeds into the West Canada Creek and Indian River systems. This region of the Adirondacks is characterized by its internal drainage basins, including substantial bodies like Brooktrout Lake, Northrup Lake, and West Lake. The hydrology is remarkably complex, featuring smaller, distinctive features such as Mica Lakes, Carter Mudhole, and Muskrat Pond. The absence of roads or permanent structures within this specific survey area underscores the preserved wilderness character of the territory. The topography reveals significant vertical relief between the peaks and the high mountain marshes, such as Beaver Pond, offering a detailed view of the natural water-flow patterns through the Cobblestone Cr and Wolf Cr drainages.
