2016 Map of Tomany Mountain

About this map

The West Branch Sacandaga River defines the southeastern drainage of this high-country landscape, where the Hamilton Co / Fulton Co line crosses a region dominated by glacial lakes and sharp peaks. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of water bodies, including the large Sand Lake in the north and the cluster of Jockeybush Lake and Ferris Lake to the west. Peaks like Tomany Mtn and Ely Mtn rise above the interconnected wetlands of N Vly and Hard Vly Lake. Transportation is limited to a few corridors such as Powley Rd and Shaker Rd, reflecting a landscape preserved for its natural hydrology rather than industrial or residential development. This 2016 survey captures the intricate system of outlets and brooks, such as Sand-Lake Outlet and Shanty Brook, that feed the larger river system during the early twenty-first century.
