“Without a doubt the most forbidding and unknown physiographic region in New York State is the great windswept plateau called Tug Hill. On a road map it is that
strange blank area of roughly two hundred
thousand acres approximately twenty miles
southeast of Watertown and thirty miles
northwest of Utica. An effort to locate a
hamlet or even a dirt road in this enigmatic
area can only be rewarded with
frustration.…”
