About this map

Cossayuna Lake and its prominent Big Island anchor this survey of the Washington County highlands. The landscape is defined by a series of north-south ridges and valleys, where settlements like Argyle, South Argyle, and Cossayuna are connected by a network of winding roads such as Co Rte 47 and Co Rte 48. Local history is preserved in several burial sites, including the Old Scots Cem and Prospect Hill Cem, which stand near the western foothills of Barkley Mtn.

Water plays a central role in the geography, with Summit Lake and Carter Pond punctuating the central hills while Black Creek and Whittaker Brook drain the diverse terrain. The presence of features like The Old Fly and Peat Swamp indicates the low-lying wetland pockets that persist between elevations like Murdock Mtn and Stewart Hill. This map captures a rural New York landscape where agriculture and small hamlets remain integrated with the natural topography.
