About this map

Copenhagen and Champion serve as the primary nodes of settlement in this northern New York landscape, situated where the terrain begins its ascent toward the Tug Hill plateau. The Deer River carves a significant path through the southeastern portion of the map, marked by notable natural landmarks including High Falls and Kings Falls. These water features historically drove the development of local industry and the orientation of early roadways like Woodbattle Rd and Number Three Rd.

Genealogists will find a high density of small burial grounds scattered across the rural landscape, from Cotes Cem in the northwest to Bent Cem in the east. The map captures the interface between Jefferson and Lewis counties, illustrating how modern routes like Co Rd 14 follow older established paths between Clark Corners and the larger village. In the north, the Black River flows past West Carthage, anchoring the region's hydrography and historical transit corridors.
