About this map

Oneida Lake and the northern shores of Big Bay anchor this landscape, where the low-lying Big Bay Swamp and Toad Harbor Swamp transition into the uplands of Dutch Hill. The area is characterized by small, distinct communities such as West Monroe, Constantia, and Mallory, connected by a network of rural roads like Whig Hill Road and Slocum Road. Several cemeteries, including Little France Cem and Ingersoll Cem, provide valuable landmarks for genealogists tracking early families in this part of Oswego County.

Evidence of the region's transport and industry is seen in the New York Central rail line and various gravel pits near Gayville. Unique local names like Mud Settlement and Dutch Settlement suggest the diverse roots of the 19th-century pioneers who cleared these lands. Conservation efforts are noted at the Threemile Bay State Game Management Area, while the Girl Scout Camp near North Pond indicates the area's mid-century recreational value.
