About this map

The Black River carves a central path through this Lewis and Oneida County landscape, serving as the historical spine for settlements like Port Leyden and Goulds Mill. In the northern reaches, the Moose River winds through Lyonsdale and Fowlersville as it enters the Adirondack Park Preserve. The proximity of these two major rivers fostered a cluster of water-dependent hamlets, including Kosterville and Shuetown, where the local terrain transitions toward the wilderness.

Genealogists and local historians can find several significant burial sites, including Wildwood Cem near the riverbanks and Leyden Hill Cem to the west. Farther south, the community of Talcottville sits along the Sugar River, while many family-named roads like McDonald Rd and Brownville Rd hint at the rural agricultural foundations of the region. The map also identifies the Styshs Brown Barn Campground, reflecting the area's continued role as a gateway for recreation near the Adirondack fringe.
