About this map

East Pitcairn and the surrounding woodlands of the Adirondack Park Preserve define this section of Northern New York. The landscape is heavily marked by the drainage of the Oswegatchie River and its various tributaries, including Yellow Creek and Greenwood Creek. Small settlements and naming conventions reflect a history of timber and mining, seen in places like Jayville, Briggs, and Kalurah. The terrain is characterized by numerous small bodies of water such as Portaferry Lake, Jenny Lake, and Bear Lake, alongside significant geologic features like The Gulf. These water sources and the local road network, including Briggs Switch Road and Camp Portaferry Road, illustrate the connectivity between these remote Adirondack outposts. Local genealogists will find the East Pitcairn Cemetery and named homestead roads useful for tracing family ties in this rugged portion of the St. Lawrence and Lewis County border.
