2023 Map of Sandy Creek

About this map

Pierrepont Manor and Mannsville anchor the northern landscape of this Jefferson and Oswego County borderland, where the terrain transitions toward the Tug Hill region. The area is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including Skinner Creek, Lindsey Creek, and Little Sandy Creek, which historically powered local mills and shaped the development of villages like Lacona and Sandy Creek. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family-named burial grounds, such as Scripture Cem and the Boylston Sandy Creek Wesleyan Cem. Higher elevations like Wheat Hill and Shoecraft Hill overlook the settlement clusters, while an intricate system of rural roads and trails, including the Gold Spike Trl and Adsit Trl, crisscrosses the eastern forests of North Boylston.
