2015 Map of Oneco

About this map

Oneco and Sterling anchor this borderland survey, where the Moosup River winds through a landscape defined by small villages and family-named landmarks. The terrain transitions across the state line, marked by prominent elevations like Webb Hill and Carbuncle Hill. Local history is preserved in numerous burial grounds, including Riverside Cem near the river and the more remote Gallups Cem and Cedar Swamp Cem. The map reveals a community centered on these early settlements, with Rice City and Moosup Valley serving as distinct hubs in the eastern portion. The presence of the Ricconn Airport and various recreational waters such as Moosup Pond and Tillinghast Pond illustrate the modern use of this traditional New England landscape. The western edge is notably defined by the evocative Hell Hollow and its associated Hell Hollow Pond, indicating the more secluded reaches of the territory.
