About this map

Stillwater Reservoir dominates the southern landscape of this 2016 survey, serving as a focal point for the complex hydrography of the Adirondack wilderness. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of glacial ponds and wetlands, including clusters such as Moshier Ponds, Twin Ponds, and the Upper S Pond chain. Higher elevations are marked by features like Sitz Mtn, which overlooks a dense collection of smaller water bodies such as Brindle Pond and Grassy Pond.

The movement of water across this territory is primarily dictated by the W Br Oswegatchie River and the Middle Br Oswegatchie River. Human access to this remote interior is limited to a few specific corridors like Stillwater Rd and Big Moose Rd. This map captures a landscape largely preserved in its natural state, showing how the drainage patterns of Alder Cr and Martin Brook have remained central to the region's character for decades.
