About this map

Oregon sits as the primary settlement in this corner of the Adirondacks, positioned near the intersection of Piseco Rd and the Hamilton-Fulton county line. The landscape is dominated by a dense network of water bodies and high points, including Morehouse Lake and the nearby Morehouse Mtn. Significant drainage is provided by Goldmine Stream and the W Br E Canada Cr, illustrating the complex hydrology of this highland region.

Evidence of historical nomenclature and local industry is preserved in place names like Big Goldmine Hill and Little Goldmine Hill, while the numerous vlies, such as Feullard Vly and Foster Vly, indicate the boggy, low-lying wetlands common between the peaks. The convergence of Hamilton, Herkimer, and Fulton counties in this area makes this survey a critical reference for understanding the jurisdictional boundaries of these mountain townships.
