2010 Map of Stillwater

About this map

Stillwater serves as the primary point of human activity in this secluded landscape within the Adirondack wilderness. The terrain is defined by a dense network of glacial water bodies, with the Middle Branch Oswegatchie River and West Branch Oswegatchie River draining the northern reaches. The area is characterized by numerous isolated basins like Pepperbox Pond, Gregg Lake, and Tied Lake, which represent a typical North Country wetland ecosystem. High ground is found at Sitz Mountain in the northeast, overlooking a cluster of south-oriented ponds including Upper South Pond and Lower South Pond. The drainage patterns of Pepperbox Creek and Martin Brook illustrate the intricate hydrology of this region, where small lakes like Lyon Lake and Muskrat Pond are often interconnected by seasonal streams and marshes.
