Great Bear Springs and the nearby Great Bear Siding define the southwestern corner of this Oswego County landscape, where the Oswego River flows past historic family landholdings. The area is characterized by small, dispersed rural settlements including Pennellville, Gilbert Mills, and Suttons Corner. Numerous small cemeteries, such as Volney Cem and Gilberts Mills Cem, are preserved across the terrain, serving as vital markers for local genealogical research. The natural geography is shaped by a network of creeks, notably Bell Cr and Sixmile Cr, which wind through low-lying areas like Beaver Meadow. In the eastern portion, Lake Temalo and Camp Talooli represent the transition toward more recreational and marshy environments, while the presence of named agricultural sites like Maryinuk Farms reflects the enduring farming character of the region.
