About this map

The eastern shore of Lake Ontario meets the intricate river systems of Oswego and Jefferson Counties in this late nineteenth-century survey. The village of Pulaski serves as a central hub where the Salmon River winds toward the lake, passing through Port Ontario and Selkirk. Along the coast, a Life Saving Station stands watch over the waters between North Pond and South Pond, highlighting the maritime risks of the era.

Inland, the landscape is defined by the Rome Watertown and Ogdensburg RR, which links settlements such as Lacona, Richland, and Pierrepont Manor. The rail network splits into several lines, including the Syracuse Branch and the Oswego and Rome Branch, reflecting a period of intense rail expansion. Smaller hamlets like Daysville and New Centerville are situated along these transit corridors and creek systems like Grindstone Creek.
