2019 Map of Sandy Creek

About this map

Sandy Creek and Lacona serve as the primary hubs in this region where the southern border of Jefferson County meets northern Oswego County. The landscape is defined by a dense network of watercourses flowing toward Lake Ontario, including Little Sandy Creek, Lindsey Creek, and Skinner Creek. These streams once dictated the placement of local industries and early settlements such as Mannsville and Ellisburg. Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites across the rural townships, from Woodlawn Cemetery and Maplewood Cemetery to the smaller Scripture Cemetery and Brewster Cemetery. The map also captures the higher elevations of the Tug Hill region's western edge, marked by landmarks like Torrey Hill, Wheat Hill, and Shoecraft Hill.
