About this map

Florence and Empeyville anchor this survey of the New York Tug Hill plateau, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways and early rural settlements. The northern reaches follow the Salmon River near Osceola, while the southern terrain is marked by Wickwire Hill and the headwaters of the Mad River. A high concentration of family and community burial grounds, such as Stanford Cem and Greely Cem, provides a map of the area’s genealogical history.

The presence of Leisher Mill along the E Fork Salmon River points to the long-standing water-powered industry that once supported these upland communities. Transportation routes like Taberg-Florence Rd and Co Line Rd follow the local topography, connecting remote farmsteads to the larger townships. Notable water features, including McCarthys Lake and Hickey Beaver Meadow, reflect the complex drainage of this high-precipitation region.
