About this map

The Oil Spring Indian Reservation anchors the central landscape of this western New York quadrangle, where the waters of Cuba Lake and Oil Creek define the local geography. The village of Cuba serves as a primary hub, showing concentrated development including a Hospital, Filtration Plant, and a Radio Tower on the nearby heights. The transit corridors of the Conrail railroad and several primary roads weave through the valleys, following the natural contours of the hills.

Rural life is evidenced by small settlements like Haskell Flats, Germantown, and North Cuba, along with numerous family-named landmarks such as Burt Hill and Yankee Hill. Genealogists and local historians can trace legacy land use through the Union Hill Cem and Union Ch, or identify the footprints of past industry at the Gravel Pit and an Old Railroad Grade that speaks to former rail alignments through the Hinsdale and Clarksville townships.
