About this map

The Salmon River anchors this mid-century portrait of Oswego County, winding its way through the townships of Richland and Albion. The rail-centered village of Richland serves as a junction for the New York Central railroad, while the larger settlement of Pulaski sits to the west near the confluence of Spring Brook and the river. Numerous family-named cemeteries such as Stevens Cem and McClelland Cem are scattered throughout the landscape, providing essential touchpoints for genealogical research.

Institutional and recreational sites like the County Sanatorium and Beulah Park Campground highlight the social infrastructure of the late 1950s. The northern reaches of the quadrangle, including the Sandy Creek and Boylston areas, are defined by an intricate network of rural routes like Factory Road and Cummings Road, which trace the path of earlier 19th-century settlement patterns and local agricultural industry.
