2019 Map of Croghan

About this map

The confluence of the Black River and the Beaver River anchors the southern portion of this Lewis County landscape, where the settlements of Croghan, Beaver Falls, and Naumburg are concentrated. The northern reaches transition into a terrain of low ridges and wetlands, punctuated by Mt Tom and the waters of Putman Swamp and the Indian River. This area is characterized by a dense network of local roads such as Old State Rd and Youngs Mill Rd, which connect small hamlets like Forest City. For those tracing local history, the map identifies several significant burial sites, including Salem Cem, Basselin Cem, and Saint Stephens Cem, providing essential coordinates for genealogical research. The drainage patterns of smaller tributaries like Swiss Cr and Widmeyer Cr reflect the historical importance of water power and irrigation in this rural New York region.
