Tug Hill, sometimes referred to as the Tug Hill Plateau, is an upland region in northern New York state, notable 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 was sometimes known as the Tug Hill plateau because its top is flat, it is not a plateau, but rather a cuesta, since it is composed of sedimentary rocks that tilt up on one side, rising from about 350 feet (110 m) on the west to over 2,000 feet (610 m) in the east. It covers portions of four Upstate New York counties: Jefferson, Lewis, Oneida, and Oswego.
