About this map

Happy Valley and the surrounding woodlands of Oswego County define this modern study of central New York's Tug Hill transition zone. The landscape is characterized by a high concentration of small kettle ponds and wetlands, such as Coan Pond and Ike Allen Pond, which feed the complex headwaters of the North Branch Little Salmon River. These waterways are central to the region's geography, with the West Branch Fish Creek cutting through the eastern portion of the quadrangle near Kasoag.

For those researching family history, numerous small burial grounds are documented throughout the area, including Butler Cem near Mud Hill and White Cem to the northwest. The presence of Abandoned Rd near the Happy Valley Cem underscores the shifting settlement patterns in this part of the state, where once-active roads have reverted to the forest. Modern infrastructure like Co Rte 30 and Grant Rd now connects the hamlets of Williamstown and North Amboy.
