Niiohehsane

Niiohehsane lies near the Black River as it leaves the Adirondack uplands. At Carthage the river runs north before bending west toward Lake Ontario, passing Great Bend and Watertown along the way. Its dark water has been associated with tannins from the surrounding woodland. The river and its tributaries cut through a landscape of forested hills and lowlands on the western edge of the Adirondacks.
