2010 Map of Brushton

About this map

The Little Salmon River and Stony Brook define the hydrologic character of the northern Franklin County countryside, where the small hamlets of Brushton and Moira serve as local centers. This 2010 survey illustrates a landscape of agricultural roads and scattered rural settlements, including Alburg and Irish Corners. A trio of burial grounds north of Moira—Sunnyside Cemetery, Saint Peters Cemetery, and Saint Marys Cemetery—provide essential points of reference for genealogists tracking local families. The transportation network is anchored by a mix of historic routes and more modern connections like Co Rte 5 and the aviation facilities at Ursone Airport. Dozens of named waterways such as Alburg Brook and Farrington Brook drain the gently sloped terrain, illustrating the many small drainage basins that once powered local industry and shaped the placement of farmsteads and village boundaries.
