About this map

East Branch Fish Creek carves a central path through this section of the Tug Hill Plateau, defining a landscape of former mill sites and small upland clearings. The distribution of local industry is recorded in the names of Swancott Mill, Freeman Mill, Parson Mill, and Fey Mill, each located along the area’s network of brooks and creeks. These labels point to a history of timber and water-powered commerce that once sustained remote settlements like Point Rock and the Prussian Settlement.

Genealogists and local historians can find several dedicated burial grounds, including Saint Anns Cem and Swancott Mill Cem, preserved alongside family-named landmarks such as Finn Hill and Bowman Hill. The map also details numerous small water bodies and wetlands, from the uniquely named Bloodsucker Lake to Mud Lake and Bullhead Lake, illustrating the complex hydrology that dominates the terrain along the Lewis and Oneida county line.
