2013 Map of Stillwater

About this map

The Adirondack wilderness in Herkimer County defines this landscape, where the settlement of Stillwater sits at the convergence of vital waterways and forest roads. This 2013 survey documents a complex lacustrine environment dominated by the Stillwater Reservoir and Moshier Reservoir in the southern portion of the quadrangle. A dense network of glacial ponds and wetlands, including Pepperbox Pond, Sunshine Pond, and Huckleberry Pond, characterizes the central terrain. The hydrology is anchored by the W Br Oswegatchie River and Middle Br Oswegatchie River, which drain the northern reaches near Sitz Mountain. Access to these remote timberlands is maintained via a few key corridors such as Number Four Rd and Necessary Dam Rd, reflecting the area's ongoing management as a protected water and forest resource.
