About this map

New Boston and Bellwood anchor a high-plateau landscape in Lewis County, where a network of tributary waters including Deer River, Silver Brook, and Mud Creek cut through the terrain. The map reveals a rural settlement pattern defined by long-established farm roads and a few concentrated hamlets. The distribution of local landmarks such as Battle Cem and Liberty Cem provides valuable reference points for genealogists tracking family plots in this corner of the Tug Hill region.

Recreational paths like the Ontuit Trl and Lookout Trl intersect the northern reach of the map, suggesting a transition from agricultural use to forested timberland and wilderness management. Small crossroads like Rector further illustrate the sparse but deliberate layout of nineteenth-century hamlets that persist into the present day. This survey documents the persistent hydrography of the Cobb Creek and Stony Creek systems that have shaped the local geography for generations.
