About Headwaters of the Unadilla River ....
Wetlands and ponds outside of Columbia Center in the town of Columbia in rural Herkimer County make up the headwaters of the Unadilla River, which feeds the Chenango River and ultimately the Susquehanna River and the Chesapeake Bay. Run off a feedlot or a septic system here goes into loading the Chesapeake Bay, hundreds of miles to the south.
