About this map

State Reforestation Area land dominates this section of Oneida and Lewis counties, where the high Tug Hill plateau begins its descent toward the Mohawk Valley. Small rural crossroads such as Forty Six Corners and Hanifin Corners dot the landscape, connected by the historical Military Road. The survey reveals a landscape of transition where mid-century reforestation efforts reclaimed land once used for timber and marginal farming.
