About this map

The Westdale and Florence areas of Oneida and Oswego counties are defined by a complex network of waterways that flow through a landscape of named heights. The Mad River and West Branch Fish Creek dominate the drainage pattern, joined by numerous tributaries such as Beaverdam Brook, Indian Camp Brook, and Wickwire Brook. These watercourses historically influenced the location of early settlements and agricultural clearings in this part of New York.

Genealogical interest is found at the Johnson Cem and Graves Cem, which sit near the eastern edge of the survey. The terrain transitions from the lowlands near Gifford Lake to the higher elevations of Maple Hill and Florence Hill. This 2019 data represents a contemporary view of a region that maintains its rural character, where the road network follows the natural contours of the stream valleys and ridges.
