2010 Map of Glenfield

About this map

Martinsburg and the riverside hamlet of Glenfield anchor this Lewis County landscape where the Tug Hill plateau begins its descent toward the Black River valley. The geography is defined by significant elevation changes, most notably at Whetstone Gulf State Park, where Whetstone Creek has carved a deep gorge through the shale. Smaller settlements like Houseville, Glendale, and Turin are connected by a network of rural roads such as Houseville Rd and East Rd. Genealogists will find several burial grounds documented, including the Old Martinsburg Cemetery and the Collinsville Cemetery near the southern boundary. The drainage pattern is complex, with Independence River and Roaring Brook feeding the larger river system, reflecting the area's transition from high wooded gulfs to fertile river bottomlands.
