About this map

Greenwood Creek State Forest and the State Forest Preserve dominate this section of the western Adirondacks during the mid-1960s. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Oswegatchie River and numerous secluded water bodies, including Portaferry Lake, Jenny Lake, and Bear Lake. Small industrial and community hubs like Jayville and Kalurah sit along the Penn Central railroad line, which cuts through the heavy timber and drainage of The Gulf.

Evidence of local recreation and industry is found at Camp Portaferry, Camp Trefoil, and a scattered Mine and Gravel Pit. The rugged geography includes notable elevations like Vrooman Ridge and the deep woods of the Adirondack State Park, providing a record of the region's managed forests and rural transport network before later modern developments. The map also traces the boundary between St Lawrence Co and Lewis Co near Scuttle Hole Creek.
