About this map

Oriskany Falls and the surrounding dairy country of Oneida and Madison counties are captured here at the headwaters of Oriskany Cr. The landscape is a mix of narrow valleys and high hills, including Grant Hill and Sanger Hill, where small farming hamlets like Augusta and Deansboro follow the path of the water. This era shows the developed road network connecting historic crossroad settlements such as Forge Hollow, Small Corners, and Brothertown.

Genealogical interest is particularly high on this sheet, with numerous family-named landmarks and several well-documented burial sites including O'Toole Cem, Thistle Cem, and Saint Josephs Cem. To the south, the terrain descends into the sprawling Ninemile Swamp along the Sangerfield River, illustrating the distinct transition from the steep upland ridges to the low-lying wetlands of Sangerfield and Stockwell.
