About this map

The Oswego River serves as a central artery for this region of New York, carving through a landscape defined by glacial drumlins and coastal proximity to Lake Ontario. This 2023 survey details the transition from the urban grid of Oswego to the rural hamlets of Scriba, Lansing, and Minetto. The topographic data reveals a high concentration of historic burial grounds that anchor the local lineage, including Saint Peters Cem, Riverside Cem, and Kingdom Cem.

Further inland, the terrain is shaped by distinct ridges such as Dutch Ridge and Deer Ridge, which dictate the drainage patterns of Wine Creek and Black Creek. The inclusion of modern infrastructure like the Oswego Public Safety Center alongside older crossroads like Hammonds Corner and Jones Corners provides a comprehensive view of the county's evolving footprint. For genealogists, the numerous family-named landmarks like Worden Hill offer precise geographic markers for ancestral research.
