About this map

Monteola and Hooker anchor this remote Lewis County landscape, which is defined by a dense network of tributaries feeding the region’s principal waterways. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the upper reaches of the Mad River, where its north and south branches converge near old industrial footprints. Evidence of former timber or transit corridors is visible along Railroad Bed Rd, which cuts through the wetland-rich terrain near Lilypad Cr and Sevenmile Cr.

To the north, the terrain centers on Sears Pond and the headwaters of the Deer River, surrounded by a web of rural routes like Salmon River Rd and Flat Rock Rd. The proximity of small settlements like Parkers to these waterways suggests an era when local economies were inextricably linked to the Tug Hill Plateau's hydrologic and timber resources. Numerous small streams, including Edick Creek and Mulligan Cr, drain the extensive wetlands that characterize this high-elevation interior.
