2016 Map of Brantingham

About this map

The Black River corridor defines the western edge of this Lewis County landscape, where the settlement of Lyons Falls sits at the southern reach of the valley. Moving eastward, the terrain transitions into the dense forests of the Adirondack Park, characterized by a complex network of glacial lakes and small watercourses. Brantingham Lake and Pleasant Lake serve as focal points for local settlement and recreation, while the smaller Catspaw Lake and Little Otter Lake are tucked into the more remote wooded sections. Genealogists can find the Sands Cem near Greig and the Brantingham Cem just south of the village. The northern portion of the map is dominated by the Independence River and Otter Creek, which carve through the forest near landmarks like Deerlick Rock. This region illustrates the intersection of small-town valley life with the vast preserved wilderness of the Adirondack Park Preserve.
