About this map

Plainville and Lysander anchor this landscape where Onondaga, Cayuga, and Oswego counties meet. The winding Seneca River defines the southern portion of the terrain, eventually flowing past the curiously named settlement of The Kingdom. The area is characterized by a significant number of early burial grounds, including the Old Presbyterian Cem and Plainville Rural Cem, which offer important touchpoints for genealogical research in this part of Upstate New York.

Drainage patterns are complex across the quadrangle, with Mud Lake Inlet, Mud Lake Outlet, and Ox Cr weaving through the lowlands north of the river. Small crossroads communities like Little Utica, Jacksonville, and Baird Corners illustrate the historical settlement pattern of the region, connected by a network of established local routes such as Lamson Rd and Plainville Rd. The map also captures the northeastern reach of Cross Lake, providing a detailed look at the hydrology of the Three Rivers region.
