About this map

The Little River and its numerous tributaries, including the W Br Little River and S Br Little River, define the landscape of this region west of Camden. Small rural communities such as Hillsboro, Elpis, and Preston Hill are connected by a network of local roads including Whiskey Island Rd and Johnnie Cake Rd. The map illustrates a wet, low-lying terrain characterized by several named bodies of water like Bullhead Pond, Gorton Pond, and Howard Pond, alongside smaller waterways like Wetmore Brook and Gorton Brook.

Genealogists and local historians can locate established landmarks such as the Temple Cem near the northwestern boundary and Lynch Cem to the south. The transition from the rural flats of Maple Flats toward the rising ground of Preston Hill reflects the varied topography of this section of Oneida County. To the southeast, the Cleveland Reservoir and Murray Brook mark the drainage patterns near the Oswego Co line.
