Branches
The river comprises three branches named East, West and Middle. All of the branches begin in the Five Ponds Wilderness, with the East Branch Oswegatchie beginning at Partlow Lake, which is privately owned by one of William Seward Webb's descendants. It is planned to be donated to New York via an easement agreement, late in the next decade. One of its branches, the Robinson River, begins at Crooked Lake. The Middle Branch headwaters are Willy's and Walker Lakes with one of its headwaters, an unnamed pond, separated from Crooked Lake by approximately fifty feet of land. The West Branch Oswegatchie has its headwaters at Buck and Hog Ponds, which are separated from a smaller branch of the Middle Branch Oswegatchie by a short distance of land.

“A woman is a branchy tree
And man a singing wind;
And from her branches carelessly
He takes what he can find.”

Out of this stony rubbish?”

““I couldn’t afford to learn it,” said the Mock Turtle with a sigh. “I only took the regular course.”
“What was that?” inquired Alice.
“Reeling and Writhing, of course, to begin with,” the Mock Turtle replied; “and then the different branches of Arithmetic—Ambition, Distraction, Uglification, and Derision.”
“I never heard of ‘Uglification,’” Alice ventured to say.”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
