1990 Map of West Canada Lakes

About this map

Adirondack Park lands within the towns of Arietta and Morehouse define this interior portion of Hamilton County. The landscape is dominated by a dense network of high-elevation water bodies, including West Lake, South Lake, and the sprawling Cedar Lakes at the northern edge. Significant peaks like Pillsbury Mtn and Spruce Lake Mountain overlook a terrain where human presence is sparse, marked primarily by primitive infrastructure. Notable landmarks include Millers Camp, several shelters, and a footbridge located near the shore of Mud Lake. Waterways like the Indian River and the Jessup River drain this watershed, while historical timber or water management is evidenced by the Mitchell Dam and another Beaver Dam located along the West Canada Creek. Trails serve as the primary conduits through the hills and around features like Sampson Bog.
