1985 Map of Pulaski

About this map

The eastern shores of Lake Ontario form a transition from open water to the agricultural and woodland landscapes of Jefferson and Oswego Counties in the mid-1980s. This survey illustrates a coastal region defined by its prominent inlets and wildlife areas, including Lakeview State Wildlife Management Area and the beach at Selkirk Shores State Park. Inland, the settlement pattern centers on the Salmon River and established villages like Pulaski and Sackets Harbor. The transportation network is anchored by the Conrail line and rural routes connecting community landmarks such as Belleville Academy and St Marys Church. Dozens of local burial grounds, from Richland Cem to Smithville Cem, offer significant detail for genealogical research, while several family-named locations like Roberts Corner and Aspinwall Corners reflect the area's agricultural history and local landownership.
