About this map

The Westdale community serves as a focal point in this 2016 study, located where the West Branch Fish Creek meets the network of local roads in Oneida County. This modern survey illustrates the persistent rural character of the region, where historical burial grounds like Johnson Cem and Graves Cem remain preserved alongside the Mad River. The landscape is defined by the gradual elevation of Florence Hill and Maple Hill, separating the small settlements of Florence and Westdale.

Water plays a central role in the topography, with numerous tributaries such as Spellicy Brook, Little River, and Wickwire Brook draining the higher elevations. The presence of Gifford Lake and the various branches of the Fish Creek system highlight the hydrological importance of this area near the Oswego and Lewis county lines, providing a detailed record of the drainage patterns and land use at the start of the 21st century.
