2010 Map of Muskellunge Lake

About this map

Oxbow sits along a sharp bend of the Oswegatchie River at the eastern edge of this landscape, serving as a focal point for the surrounding rural road network. To the north, the Indian River winds toward several prominent burial grounds, including Saint Patricks Cemetery and Riverside Cemetery. The terrain is defined by a dense cluster of interconnected water bodies, from the irregular shores of Muskellunge Lake and its distinctive features like Elephants Foot and Muskellunge Point, to the elongated reaches of Lake of the Woods and Grass Lake. Historic rural intersections such as Nelson Corner, Bartletts Corner, and Chapel Corners anchor the upland regions. Natural landmarks like Pulpit Rock near Payne Lake suggest a landscape shaped by glacial activity, while scattered settlements like Honey Hill reflect the long-standing agricultural and recreational character of this northern New York region.
