About this map

Oneida and its neighboring villages sit at the heart of this Madison County landscape, where the flatlands of Lenox Basin give way to the rising elevations of W Stockbridge Hill. The map documents a dense network of watercourses, including the winding Oneida Creek and Cowaselon Creek, which historically powered the industry of local settlements like Durhamville and Clockville. The terrain is marked by significant topographical shifts, most notably at Buttermilk Falls and the ravines carved by Limestone Cr.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites throughout the region, ranging from the large Saint Patricks Cem and Glenwood Cem in the city to smaller rural plots like Sunny Side Cem and West Hill Cem. The map traces the corridor between Canastota and Oneida Castle, illustrating how the transportation routes of the twentieth century followed the established paths between these historic Madison County hubs.
