2016 Map of Copenhagen

About this map

The Deer River carves a deep path through the Tug Hill plateau region as it flows toward Copenhagen, where the dramatic drops of High Falls and Kings Falls define the local geography. This 2016 survey documents the rural character of the Jefferson and Lewis county line, anchored by the historic population centers of Carthage and West Carthage along the Black River. The settlement pattern follows a network of country roads, connecting smaller hamlets like Champion and Clark Corners. Genealogists will find several burial grounds noted across the landscape, including Hillside Cem, Fairview Cem, and South Champion Cem. The transition from the high elevations near Orvis Hill down toward the river valleys highlights a landscape of dispersed farmsteads and managed woodlands, with Pleasant Lake serving as a significant recreational water body central to the quadrangle's highland area.
