About this map

The Black River corridor defines the geography of Lewis County in this early 20th-century survey, reprinted at the onset of the 1940s. Industrial and transit hubs such as Port Leyden and Lyons Falls are positioned where the river meets the New York Central and Hudson River railroad, signaling the importance of water power and timber transport. The landscape transitions from the dramatic gorge at Whetstone Gulf to the recreational waters of Brantingham Lake and Little Otter Lake in the east.
