About this map

Belfort and Kirschnerville sit at the center of this rural Lewis County landscape, defined by a complex hydraulic system along the Beaver River. The river's course is punctuated by several significant impoundments, including Taylorville Pond, Belfort Pond, and Effley Falls Pond, which suggest a history of local water power and industrial utility. To the west, High Falls and its associated High Falls Pond mark a dramatic change in elevation where the river descends through the terrain.

Agricultural and local landmarks are scattered across the quadrangle, from the Moser Farm near Sandy Cr to the small junction of Bushs Corners in the southeast. The northern portion of the map is dominated by the winding paths of the Indian River and the W Br Oswegatchie River, while man-made features like the Croghan Reservoir and an extensive network of rural roads such as Old State Rd and Erie Canal Rd highlight the area's development for utility and transit.
