About this map

Beaver River and Black River converge toward the southwestern corner of this Adirondack foothills region, shaping the development of local mill towns. The settlement of Croghan serves as a primary hub, while downstream the community of Beaver Falls sits perched along the river's edge. This 2010 survey details the geographic relationship between these river-fronting centers and smaller outlying hamlets like Naumburg and Forest City.

Genealogists can find significant local history in the cluster of burial sites, including Saint Stephens Cemetery, Basselin Cemetery, Union Cemetery, and Salem Cemetery. The landscape transitions from the river valleys to higher terrain at Mount Tom and Charlies Hill, with the northern reaches of the quadrangle defined by numerous smaller waterways such as Swiss Creek, Potash Creek, and Widmeyer Creek as they drain into the primary river systems.
