About this map

The Black River and Moose River converge at the northern edge of this landscape, defining the industrial and geographic character of Lyons Falls and nearby Kosterville. Moving south, the terrain transitions into the high country where the Adirondack Park Preserve borders the eastern edge of the quadrangle. Local history is anchored by settlements such as Port Leyden and Talcottville, with family and community heritage evidenced by Leyden Hill Cem, Wildwood Cem, and Calvary Cem.

The map details a network of rural roads and watercourses, including the Sugar River and Fall Brook, that supported the early economic development of Lewis and Oneida counties. Specific landmarks like Goulds Mill and the crossroads at Locust Grove provide exact points for tracing 19th and 20th-century settlement patterns. The survey also marks the jurisdictional line between Lewis Co and Oneida Co, tracing its path across Mile Cr and through the wooded uplands.
