About this map

The Oswegatchie River defines the northern reaches of this landscape near Fine, where the river's winding path provides a focal point for local settlement. Moving south, the terrain becomes increasingly defined by a complex network of glacial lakes and wetlands, including Portaferry Lake and Long Lake. This area was historically shaped by mining and timber, as evidenced by small settlements like Jayville and East Pitcairn which are linked by winding roads through the woods.

A distinctive geological feature known as The Gulf sits in the southern portion of the quadrangle, where Gulf Stream flows through a deep valley. The presence of Camp Portaferry and Camp Trefoil suggests the transition of this area toward recreational use by the early 21st century. Genealogists and local historians can trace the distribution of these small hamlets and the waterways like Greenwood Creek that have long influenced the region's development.
