About this map

East Branch Fish Creek defines the lower drainage of this landscape as it crosses the boundary between Lewis and Oneida counties. The map documents a cluster of mill-related history, with sites like Swancott Mill, Freeman Mill, Parson Mill, and Fey Mill scattered throughout the wetlands and creek beds. These names, along with the Prussian Settlement, suggest a legacy of early industry and immigrant land use in this part of New York.

Genealogists will find several burial grounds noted, including Swancott Mill Cem and Saint Ann's Cem near Point Rock. The terrain is characterized by numerous small waterways such as Bloodsucker Lake and Pigeon Brook, while family names appear on landmarks like Finn Hill and Bowman Hill. The road network consists primarily of local routes like Osceola Rd and Sauer Road Snowmobile Trl, reflecting a rural, low-density settlement pattern.
