About this map

The West Branch Fish Creek and the Mad River converge near the village of Camden, carving through a landscape of Tug Hill plateaus and rural settlements at the start of the twentieth century. This area of Oneida County is defined by its water-powered history, evidenced by the Leisher Mill and Swancott Mill situated along the winding northern creeks. Small crossroads and post offices like Empeyville East Florence PO and Thomson Corners serve as vital hubs for the surrounding farmsteads.

Railroad connectivity is provided by the New York Central and Hudson River RR and the Oswego and Rome Line, which link industrial points such as Mc Connellsville and Blossvale to the broader regional economy. The map also captures the varied terrain of Wickwire Hill and the remote waters of Bloodsticker Pond and Mud Pond, illustrating the transition from managed timber and mill sites to the more wild reaches of the Lewis and Oneida Co border.
