About this map

Black River and Independence River converge in this section of Lewis County, defining a landscape of river-bottom agricultural land and sharp upland drainages. The area is anchored by the village of Turin in the south and Martinsburg in the northwest, with the smaller settlements of Glenfield, Glendale, and Houseville spaced along the valley floor. The geography is notable for its "gulfs" — steep-walled ravines like Whetstone Gulf and Houseville Gulf — that cut through the Tug Hill plateau's eastern edge toward the river valley below.

Local history and genealogy are preserved in several burial sites across the township, including the Old Martinsburg Cem and Burdicks Crossing Cem. Evidence of mid-century leisure and infrastructure remains visible through the Valley Brook Drive-In near the river and the Turin Reservoir nestled in the hills. The map captures the continued importance of land use in the region, from the working lands of Marks Farms to the recreational grounds of the Turin Highlands Golf Course.
