2023 Map of Glenfield

About this map

Black River meanders through the eastern lowlands of Lewis County, contrasting with the dramatic elevation changes of the Tug Hill plateau to the west. This landscape is defined by the deep incision of Whetstone Gulf, a notable gorge protected within Whetstone Gulf State Park. The transition from the alluvial valley floor to the upland heights is marked by numerous water features, including the cascading Whitaker Falls and the drainage of Roaring Brook. The settlement pattern follows the fertile corridor along the river and the base of the plateau, with long-established communities like Martinsburg, Turin, and Glenfield serving as local anchors. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several community burial grounds, such as Martinsburg Cem and Collinsville Cem, while numerous rural roads like Whiskey Lane Rd and Houseville Gulf Rd hint at the historic agricultural and timber-linked routes of the region.
