About this map

Stillwater Mtn rises above a landscape defined by an intricate network of waterways and high-elevation basins in Herkimer County. The northern reaches of the Independence River and its tributaries, such as Moose Cr and Crondall Cr, drain a terrain characterized by numerous ponds and wetlands. Notable water bodies including Sunday Lake, Hitchcock Lake, and the expansive Stillwater Reservoir serve as the primary landmarks in this largely undeveloped wilderness.

Remote access is maintained through a series of primitive roads like McCarty Rd and Balsam Flats Rd, which thread between features like the Polack Swamp and the level terrain of Balsam Flats. This 2016 survey documents the enduring character of the Adirondack backcountry, where name-bearing features such as Lizard Spring Brook and Lennon Ponds provide essential reference points for land management and recreational navigation in a region of dense forest and glacial hydrology.
