1899 Map of Cazenovia

About this map

Cazenovia Lake sits at the heart of this late nineteenth-century Central New York landscape, surrounded by the growing village of Cazenovia and several distinct hilltop and valley communities. The region is defined by a dense network of steam-era transportation, including the West Shore R. R. and the Lehigh Valley R. R., which served agricultural centers like New Woodstock and Delphi Station. Significant water management for the era is visible through the De Ruyter Reservoir and Erieville Reservoir, highlighting early industrial and municipal water engineering.
