2023 Map of North Western

About this map

North Western and Westernville anchor this northern Oneida County landscape, where the legacy of the Black River Canal is still visible alongside the path of the Mohawk River. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent rises including Carmichael Hill, Meszler Hill, and Maple Mountain, which separate the various creek valleys. Numerous small burial grounds, such as Carmichael Hill Cem, Nisbet Cem, and Steuben Corners Cem, are scattered across the uplands, offering significant points of interest for genealogical research in this rural pocket of New York. The map details a network of waterways including Big Brook, Wells Creek, and Steuben Creek that cut through the high ground. Settlement patterns are concentrated at historic crossroads like Merrick Corner and Frenchville, while the northeastern portion of the map transitions into the higher elevations of Penn Mountain Road.
