1955 Map of Point Rock

About this map

Prussian Settlement and a series of historic mill sites characterize the rugged northern landscape along the Lewis and Oneida County line. This 1955 survey records the rural transition of central New York as extensive tracts are identified as State Reforestation Areas. Water power from the East Branch Fish Creek and its tributaries supported localized industry at Swancott Mill, Freeman Mill, Parson Mills, and Fey Mills. The map provides significant genealogical value through the documentation of the St Anns Ch and St Anns Cem in the Annsville area, along with multiple district schools like School No 6 and School No 14. To the south, the settlement of Point Rock serves as a local hub near Camp Kingsley, while the terrain is defined by prominent features such as Finn Hill and Bowman Hill.
