2010 Map of Central Square

About this map

Central Square serves as the primary hub for this portion of Oswego and Onondaga counties, situated at a junction where local roads meet the water network. To the south, the Oneida River marks a significant boundary, winding past the village of Sand Ridge and the junction at Stewart Corners. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of hamlets and crossroads, including East Palermo, Hastings Center, and Roosevelt Corners, reflecting a deeply established rural community structure. Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of family-named landmarks and burial grounds, such as Hillside Cemetery, Allen Cemetery, and Coit Cemetery. Transport links are varied, ranging from the aviation facilities at Spring Brook Airport to the rail infrastructure at Emmons Siding near the Big Bay Swamp. This survey documents a complex local geography defined by numerous creeks, such as Caughdenoy Creek and Catfish Creek, which influenced the placement of these early New York settlements.
