1895 Map of Pulaski

About this map

Lake Ontario defines the western edge of this coastal landscape, where the Life Saving Station stands watch over the shifting sands and inlets of North Pond and South Pond. Inland, the settlement pattern reveals a late 19th-century economy tied to the waters of the Salmon River and the extensive rail infrastructure of the Rome Watertown and Ogdensburg R. R. The village of Pulaski serves as a central hub, while smaller hamlets like Pierrepont Manor, Mannsville, and Sand Bank are connected by a network of local roads and rail branches, including the Oswego and Rome Branch. The terrain transitions from the low-lying shoreline near Port Ontario and Selkirk to the rolling hills of Ellisburg and Boylston, drained by numerous waterways such as Little Sandy Creek and Grindstone Creek.
