About this map

Boylston Center and the surrounding hamlets of northern Oswego County are defined by a network of creeks and timbered uplands along the Jefferson County line. This survey of the Tug Hill region reveals a landscape of dispersed settlements like Smartville and Winona, where the terrain is crossed by numerous trails including the Musher Ridge Trl and Ccc Loop Trl. The area’s genealogical history is anchored by several small burial grounds, including Phelps Cem and Saint Josephs Cem.

Water plays a central role in the local geography, with Little Sandy Creek and Trout Brook winding through the hills toward the southeast. Large tracts of undeveloped land are prominent, notably the Little John Mgt Area Sthy, which occupies the eastern portion of the quadrangle. The map also highlights distinctive physical landmarks like Shoecraft Hill and the Tamarack Swamp, illustrating the transition from rural crossroads like Plantz Corners to the wilder, boggy reaches of the interior.
