1955 Map of Camillus

About this map

Ninemile Creek carves a deep valley through the center of this landscape, anchoring the village of Camillus and the industrial hamlet of Marcellus Falls. The mid-century geography is defined by a dense corridor of transportation and infrastructure, where the New York Central railroad and the Thruway parallel the historic paths of the Erie Canal and the Old Erie Canal. This overlap of era-defining transit routes highlights the region's importance as a gateway west of Syracuse.
