About this map

Boylston Center and East Boylston serve as the primary crossroads in this rural landscape straddling the line between Jefferson and Oswego counties. The area is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the westward-flowing Little Sandy Creek and the meandering Trout Brook, which create a complex system of drainage across the Tug Hill region. Small settlements like Smartville, Winona, and Plantz Corners are connected by a grid of county routes and local roads such as French Settlement Road and Tucker Truck Road.

Genealogists will find significant detail in the placement of rural burial grounds, including Phelps Cemetery near the center and Saint Josephs Cemetery further south. The eastern edge of the map features the Little John Management Area, indicating a transition from active agricultural land to managed forest and wetlands, such as Tamarack Swamp. Local elevations are marked by landmarks like Shoecraft Hill, providing a topographical anchor for this part of Northern New York.
