2019 Map of North Western

About this map

The Mohawk River Black River Canal corridor defines the western edge of this landscape, where the settlements of North Western and Frenchville once grew along the historic waterway. Moving east, the terrain rises into a series of prominent elevations such as Carmichael Hill, Boody Hill, and Oakes Hill. This region is particularly rich for genealogical research, as evidenced by the high density of family and community burial grounds including Stone Cem, Nisbet Cem, and the Penn Mountain Cem on the northern heights. Small crossroads like Merrick Corner and Steuben serve as anchors for the local road network, which navigates a complex system of watercourses like Beaver Meadow Brook and Big Brook. The southern reaches transition toward East Floyd and Camroden, showing the persistent agricultural and rural residential patterns of Oneida County.
