About this map

Pierrepont Manor and Mannsville anchor the northern landscape of this Jefferson and Oswego County border region during a period of steady growth. The village of Sandy Creek serves as a central hub, where the Conrail line runs parallel to the primary highway, linking the settled valley to Lacona and the Fairground. To the east, the terrain rises toward the Winona State Forest, a large expanse of upland conservation ground that stands in contrast to the agricultural valley floor.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the rural settlements and family-named roads, such as Baldwin Road and Van Wormer Road. Small hamlets like Smartville and North Boylston are documented alongside vital community institutions, including Sandy Creek Central Sch and several remote burial grounds like Scripture Cem. The complex drainage of the Tug Hill region is evident in the numerous watercourses, such as South Sandy Creek and Little Deerlick Creek, which carved the local topography.
