About this map

Wheelertown and the small settlement of Enos anchor this mid-century survey of the Herkimer and Oneida County borderlands. The landscape is defined by the drainage of the Black River and Woodhull Creek, where the transition from agricultural clearings to dense woodland is marked by isolated outposts like Lyons Camp and Stone Dam Lake Camp. Local travel followed established routes such as Bellingertown Road and North Lake Road, which connected scattered homesteads to the primary waterways.

Genealogists will find the Wheelertown Cem clearly situated near the center of its namesake hamlet, while hunters and outdoorsmen can trace the network of forest paths including the Stone Dam Trail and Twin Lakes Trail. The terrain features numerous family-named landmarks such as Finn Hill and Meyers Hill, alongside remote water bodies like Mink Lake and the seasonally marshy Quagmire Swamp. This map captures the area before modern reforestation obscured many of these early road-and-trail connections.
