Tug Hill
Tug Hill, sometimes referred to as the Tug Hill Plateau, is an upland region in upstate New York in the United States, famous for heavy winter snows. The Tug Hill region is east of Lake Ontario, north of Oneida Lake and west of the Adirondack Mountains. The region is separated from the Adirondacks by the Black River Valley.
Although the region has traditionally been known as the Tug Hill ''plateau'' since it is flat on top, it is actually not a plateau. Technically, Tug Hill could more accurately be called a cuesta since it is actually composed of sedimentary rocks that tip up on one side,〔 rising from about on the west to over in the east.
It covers portions of four Upstate New York counties: Jefferson, Lewis, Oneida, and Oswego.
==Geographic scope==
The Tug Hill region comprises an expansive ring of rural and agricultural outlying areas surrounding a sparsely-populated "core" region. The majority of the region's population is concentrated in villages that are situated primarily at the region's outer edge.〔
