1957 Map of Brewerton

About this map

Oneida Lake and the Oneida River anchor the northern reaches of this mid-century New York landscape, marking the historic boundary between Schroeppel and Hastings. The waterways, including the Erie Canal and Seneca River, reveal a region shaped by transport and trade. In the southern portion, the post-war growth of North Syracuse contrasts with the massive, unpopulated expanse of Cicero Swamp. This 1957 revision captures the area's infrastructure just as modern aviation and suburban expansion began to leave their mark, seen in features like Hayes Airfield and the development near Woodward. Local genealogy and land-use history are well-preserved through labels for the Pine Plains Cem, the Morgan Ch, and several rural schoolhouses like Brown Sch and Allen Road Sch.
