About this map

E Br Mohawk River and its numerous tributaries, including Ava Brook and Blue Brook, define the drainage of this central New York landscape. The settlement of West Leyden sits near the northern boundary, while Ava and the smaller cluster at Flint Town occupy the central and southern reaches. Local family names and community history are preserved in several burial grounds, such as the West Leyden Cem, Ava Cem, and Thorton Cem.

Transport and water management systems reflect the area's development, from the Valenty Mierek Airport to the historic path of the Black River Canal near the Lansing Kill. The terrain is marked by distinct rises like Webster Hill, with the county line between Lewis and Oneida Counties cutting diagonally across the northern portion of the map, influencing the local road networks and land divisions.
