2019 Map of Canastota

About this map

Chittenango and Canastota anchor this modern survey of Madison County, showing the evolution of the landscape between the historic Erie Canal corridor and the high ground of the Allegheny Plateau. The transition from the low-lying northern marshes around Oniontown and Cowaselon Creek to the significant elevations of Allis Hill and Cranson Hill is clearly visible. The drainage patterns of Chittenango Creek and Canaseraga Creek continue to define the area's geography, while the N Country National Scenic Trail traverses the southern ridges. Genealogists will find many significant burial sites, including the Lenox Rural Cemetery, Mount Pleasant Cemetery, and the Harrington Cemetery, providing a detailed record of the families who settled this region of Central New York. Landmarks like Sulphur Springs and Luther Airport indicate the varied recreational and logistical uses of the land in the early 21st century.
