1966 Map of Brantingham

About this map

Adirondack State Park dominates the eastern half of this landscape, where the wooded expanse of the State Forest Preserve meets the developed summer retreats of the mid-1960s. The settlement of Brantingham serves as a central hub, situated between the shores of Brantingham Lake and Pleasant Lake. This area shows a distinct transition from the wilder topography of the park to the agricultural and transit corridors along the Black River valley. To the west, the village of Greig and the nearby Eatonville are connected by a network of rural roads such as Pine Grove Road and Chases Lake Road. Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved here, including St Thomas Cem, Sands Cem, and Greig Cem. The western edge of the sheet captures the industrial and transport infrastructure of Lyons Falls, where the Penn Central railroad follows the river's path.
