1956 Map of Central Square

About this map

Central Square serves as the focal point of this Oswego County landscape, situated at a major crossroads just north of the Oneida River. The map captures a mid-century rural environment characterized by numerous small, family-named hamlets and corners such as Peat Corners, Benders Corners, and Stewart Corners. The southern edge of the survey follows the winding path of the Oneida River, which forms the boundary with Onondaga County, leading toward the marshy expanse of Big Bay Swamp and the tip of Oneida Lake.
