About this map

The lowlands of northern Oneida Lake dominate this landscape, where the vast Toad Harbor Swamp and Big Bay Swamp meet the lake shore. Surveyed in the late 1950s, the map reveals a network of rural settlements like Mud Settlement and Dutch Settlement that speak to the region's 19th-century agricultural origins. Toward the east, the Threemile Bay State Game Management Area indicates a shift toward conservation and public land use as formerly farmed wetlands were set aside.

Local history is preserved in small details, such as the Little France Ch and nearby Little France Sch, providing specific points of interest for genealogists. The terrain rises slightly toward the north and east at The Pinnacle and Dutch Hill, overlooking a series of meandering waterways including the Little Salmon River and Scriba Creek. These natural features, combined with family-named landmarks like Potter Corners and Vorhees Corners, map out a distinct moment in Oswego County's development.
