About this map

Delta Reservoir dominates the central landscape of this Oneida County region, serving as a massive water catchment just north of Rome. This modern survey illustrates the significant geographic footprint of Delta Lake State Park and the smaller residential clusters that ring the water, including Lake Delta and Hawkins Corner. To the northeast, the historic village of Westernville sits near the reservoir's edge, while Wright Settlement and Elmer Hill anchor the southern approach toward the city.

The topography is defined by the Mohawk River and its various tributaries like McMullen Brook and Deans Creek, which carve through high ground such as Quaker Hill and Tripp Pinnacle. Traces of earlier infrastructure appear in the form of the Black River Canal, running along the southeastern shoreline of the reservoir. For those tracking local family history, several small burial grounds are documented, including Welsh Cem, Polish Cem, and Evergreen Cem, providing specific spatial data for genealogical research in this rural New York corridor.
