About this map

State Reforestation Area dominates the northern reaches of this Oswego County landscape, which transitions from high timberland down toward the shoreline of Oneida Lake. The area is characterized by a dense network of small hamlets and family-named crossroads, including Amboy Center, Dutcherville, and Halls Corners. In the central portion of the sheet, Panther Lake serves as a local focal point, surrounded by access roads like North Shore Dr and Birmingham Drive.

Transport and land use patterns are well-defined, showing an Old Railroad Grade cutting through the southwestern corner near Constantia. Significant local features range from the industrial, such as numerous Borrow Pits, to the community-focused Camp Woodland and Sch No 1. The terrain is marked by distinctive names like The Klondike and several water bodies including Carterville Pond and Vanderkamp Lake, illustrating the post-war rural development and recreational character of this New York interior.
