2023 Map of Mallory

About this map

The northern reaches of Oneida Lake define the lower edge of this landscape, where the waters of Big Bay meet extensive wetlands like Big Bay Swamp and Toad Harbor Swamp. Moving inland from the shoreline, a distinct pattern of 19th-century hamlets and rural neighborhoods emerges, many bearing the names of the immigrant groups that settled them, including Little France, Dutch Settlement, and Union Settlement. These small communities are often centered around local burial grounds such as the Union Settlement Cem and Saint Francis Cem, providing essential touchstones for genealogical research in this part of Oswego County.
