About this map

The Salmon River and its varied tributaries, including Miller Creek and Beaverdam Brook, define the landscape of eastern Oswego County during this 1960 field survey. The settlement of Williamstown serves as a central hub, featuring landmarks such as Holy Cross Ch and the Williamstown Cem. Surrounding the village, the terrain is shaped by extensive reforestation efforts, notably within the State Reforestation Area and the Happy Valley Game Management Area.

Evidence of historical transit is visible in the prominent Old Railroad Grade and numerous local roads like Smokey Hollow Road and Lovers Lane. Genealogists may find value in the scattered rural cemeteries, including White Cem, Madison Cem, and Butler Cem, which are located near small communities such as North Amboy and West Amboy. The northern portion of the map highlights a high density of water bodies like Kasoag Lake and Bass Lake, alongside recreational sites like Camp Zerbe and Camp Twelve Pines.
