West Winfield

Old houses in the old village of West Winfield along US Route 20. I often want to get through this village as quickly as possible, following the speed limitation of 30 mph, because by the time I've reached here, Charles Baker State Forest isn't that far way.

Black River Valley

|

Looking at this 3D rendering of the Black River Valley, I never realized how nearly all the agriculture is on the west side of valley, climbing up into the Tug Hill Plateau. I am most of that has to do with the soils -- the east side is very sandy and infertile with a lot of timber stands. This picture starts around Boonville and heads north of Lowville, the town that rhythms with cow-ville for good reason.
