1899 Map of Cazenovia

About this map

Cazenovia Lake sits at the heart of this Central New York landscape, surrounded by a dense network of late-nineteenth-century farmsteads and small upland villages. The area is defined by its deep glacial valleys and the significant water engineering of the era, notably the De Ruyter Reservoir and Erieville Reservoir, which served as critical feeders for the state's canal system. Small rural crossroads like Sheds Corners and Pompey Center are meticulously mapped alongside industrial markers like Stone Quarry Hill and Stone Quarry Falls near Manlius.
