About this map

DeRuyter Reservoir dominates the eastern portion of this landscape, a prominent hydrological feature surrounded by a network of winding roads like E Lake Rd and W Cottage Ln. The terrain is defined by the headwaters of the Tioughnioga Creek system, including the West Branch and Middle-Branch, which carve through a series of ridges and hills such as Morgan Hill and Arab Hill.

Settlement patterns in the early 21st century remain focused around the village of Fabius and the southern town of DeRuyter, while smaller hamlets like Keeney and Cowles Settlement preserve the area's rural character. For genealogists, the map is particularly rich in cemetery locations, documenting sites like the Keeney Settlement Cemetery, Old Fabius Cemetery, and the Albro Cemetery. The northern edge features the dramatic Delphi Falls, where the East Branch Limestone Creek drops through a significant geological formation known as The Gulf.
