1973 Map of Baldwinsville

About this map

The Seneca River, Oneida River, and Oswego River converge in a complex waterway system that defines the central geography of this central New York region. This confluence, known simply as Three Rivers, sits adjacent to the sprawling Three Rivers State Game Management Area, which dominates the landscape between Phoenix and Baldwinsville. The map illustrates a transitional period of development, notably featuring the Lysander New Community and several new residential subdivisions shown in purple revision, indicating growth in the late 1970s. Industrial and transport history is represented by the Erie Canal segments and the extensive Conrail lines that serve the river towns. Local community life is detailed through numerous schools like the Elizabeth St Sch and Dillon Sch, along with several historic cemeteries including Riverside Cemetery and St Marys Cem near the riverbanks.
