About this map

Cossayuna Lake and its prominent Big Island anchor this survey of Washington County, where the village of Cossayuna sits at the water's edge. The landscape is defined by its numerous small basins and wetlands, including the uniquely named The Old Fly and the broad Bent Swamp near Spraguetown. These water features are balanced by significant elevations such as Barkley Mtn and Murdock Mtn, which overlook a network of rural roads connecting established settlements like Argyle and South Argyle.

Genealogists will find a detailed distribution of local burial grounds across the hills, including Prospect Hill Cem, Argyle Cem, and the South Argyle Cem. Moving south toward East Greenwich, the terrain transitions into the valley of Black Creek and Livingston Brook, showing the enduring rural character of the region. The inclusion of Tracy Field and smaller water bodies like Barkley Pond provides a comprehensive look at the land use and natural drainage patterns of this New York interior.
