About this map

The Adirondack State Park boundary cuts through this corner of Lewis County, where the transition from wild forest preserve to settled river valley is clearly defined. The central focus is the community of Brantingham, established around the shores of Brantingham Lake and Pleasant Lake. This area was well-developed for recreation by the mid-1960s, featuring a Golf Course and numerous summer cottages accessed via Cottage Road and Long Shore Road.

To the west, the Black River meanders toward Lyons Falls, where the Penn Central Railroad corridor parallels the water. Genealogy and local history researchers will find the locations of Sands Cem and Brantingham Cem useful for locating early residents. The landscape is a network of smaller waterways like Fish Creek and Otter Creek, which supported local industry and the remote settlements of Greig and Eatonville.
