About this map

The Salmon River dominates this portion of Oswego County, winding through a landscape shaped by glacial topography and early New York settlement patterns. This modern 2019 survey documents the enduring layout of villages like Pulaski, Richland, and Altmar, alongside smaller hamlets such as Pineville and Orwell. The density of family and village burial grounds, including the Pulaski Village Cemetery and Richland Village Cemetery, offers a valuable resource for genealogists mapping the region's heritage.

Waterways like Trout Brook, Deer Creek, and Orwell Creek intersect a network of county roads and local thoroughfares. Aviation history is noted at the Richland Airpark, while the infrastructure of the Salmon River Bridge provides a focal point for the riverside community. The map preserves the names of numerous rural routes, such as Canning Factory Road and Jerry Look Road, which hint at the agricultural and industrial history of the Tug Hill transition zone.
