2016 Map of Cicero

About this map

Oneida Lake defines the northern reaches of this Onondaga County landscape, where various points and bays such as Muskrat Bay and Norcross Point shape a busy shoreline of summer communities and landings. The transition from the water's edge into the interior is marked by the sprawling Cicero Swamp, an expansive wetland that separates the lakeside settlements of Forest Beach and Valentines Beach from the growing suburban developments around North Syracuse. This 2016 survey provides a modern layout of the region's long-established infrastructure, including the intersections of Brewerton Rd and several historical burial grounds. Genealogists can locate numerous local landmarks including the Cicero Center Cem, Terpenning Cem, and Taft Cem. The map further details the complex geography of the lake itself, featuring Frenchman Island and Dunham Island alongside the small fishing landings of Kraus Landing and Doris Park on the northern shore.
