About this map

Florence and Empeyville center this portrait of the Tug Hill region, where the Lewis Co Oneida Co line divides a landscape defined by an intricate network of waterways. The Salmon River flows through the northern reaches near Osceola, joined by numerous tributaries such as Malloy Brook and Finnegan Brook. This area is characterized by its high-elevation wetlands and meadows, most notably Hickey Beaver Meadow and the secluded McCarthy Lake.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local history preserved in the numerous rural burial grounds scattered across the terrain, including Saint Marys Cem, Davis Cem, and Salmon River Cem. The industrial legacy of the region is anchored by the Leisher Mill along the W Fork Salmon River. The road network, featuring routes like the Taberg-Florence RD and Co Line RD, reveals the settlement patterns that emerged around the Mad River and its various branches.
