About this map

The Black River forms a defining western boundary for this Lewis County landscape, where the settlements of Greig and Lyons Falls anchor a transition from riverside lowlands to the protected highlands of the Adirondacks. To the east, the topography rises into the Adirondack Park Preserve, a region marked by numerous glacial water bodies including Brantingham Lake, Pleasant Lake, and the more secluded Catspaw Lake. This 2019 survey documents a network of rural roads such as Chases Lake Rd and Fish Creek Rd that connect dispersed homesites and small hamlets.

Local history is preserved in sites like Sands Cem near the river and Brantingham Cem further east. The drainage of the Independence River and Otter Creek shapes the northern reaches, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Tug Hill transition zone. The map provides a contemporary record of land use at the park's edge, balancing established settlements with the wilder stretches of the Adirondack Park.
