About this map

Boylston Center and Smartville serve as central nodes in this landscape defined by a network of creeks and small crossroads. The terrain is marked by prominent elevations like Shoecraft Hill and the distinctively named Hemlock District. Several small, named settlements such as Plantz Corners, Frederick Corners, and East Boylston suggest a pattern of decentralized rural community life, often centered around family-named road junctions and local landmarks.

Water plays a primary role in the geography, with Little Sandy Cr, Trout Brook, and Big Brook draining the territory. The presence of several historic burial grounds, including Saint Josephs Cem, Phelps Cem, and the Greenboro Cem at the edge of Greenboro, offers significant value for genealogists tracing local families. The road network, including Co Rte-17 and Co Rte-15, connects these disparate hamlets, illustrating the enduring layout of rural New York transportation corridors.
