2013 Map of North Western

About this map

North Western and Frenchville anchor the northwestern reaches of this Oneida County landscape, situated along the path of the historic Black River Canal. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent rises including Maple Mountain, Carmichael Hill, and Boody Hill, separated by a dense network of watercourses like Tannery Brook and Gifford Cr. The map reveals a deeply rooted rural community, evidenced by the numerous family and community burial grounds such as Steuben Cem, Nisbet Cem, and Ward Cem that dot the countryside. This 2013 survey shows the evolution of the area from its 19th-century canal-era roots to contemporary land uses, including the Camroden Golf Course and Belle Maison Farms in the south. The transition from the rugged highlands of Buck Hill to the more developed settlements like East Floyd illustrates the diverse topography of the Tug Hill region's southern edge.
