2016 Map of Richland

About this map

The Salmon River cuts a wide path through this portion of Oswego County, connecting a string of rural settlements including Pulaski, Richland, Pineville, and Altmar. This 2016 survey illustrates the persistent agricultural and riparian character of the landscape, where long-established family names are preserved in features like McClelland Cem and Stevens Cem. The transition from the more developed western corridor near Pulaski to the higher elevations of Gilbert Hill in the east is marked by a network of local routes such as Centerville Rd and Co Rte 2. Numerous small waterways, including Trout Brook and Orwell Cr, drain into the river valley, creating a complex hydrologic map. The concentration of historical burial sites, from Richland Village Cem to the Potter Cem, provides significant geographic markers for genealogical research in these small New York townships.
