About this map

The Delta Reservoir dominates this landscape north of Rome, drowning the valley where the village of Delta once stood before the dam was completed. The expansive waters now serve as the centerpiece for Delta Lake State Park, while the surrounding terrain rises toward prominent heights like Tripp Pinnacle and Haynes Hill. Significant water infrastructure and recreation sites are mapped throughout the area, including the Rome Fish Hatchery and the C & MA Campground along the western shore.

Evidence of the region's 19th-century transport legacy is visible in the Black River Canal (Abandoned), which once connected the North Country to the Erie Canal system. To the south, the expansion of the Griffiss AFB military reservation indicates the mid-century strategic importance of the area. Small rural centers such as Westernville and Stokes Corner remain, supported by a network of local institutions like the Lorena Sch and Canterbury Hill Sch.
