1944 Map of Cicero

About this map

Oneida Lake dominates this mid-century survey, with the Barge Canal cutting directly across the water toward Phillips Point. The southern shoreline is a dense network of seasonal and permanent settlements including Forest Beach, Lower South Bay, and Kraus Landing, reflecting the region's long-standing transition from agricultural land to a recreation-centered economy. Inland, the landscape of Cicero is defined by its extensive swamp lands and a series of unique low islands such as Geersbeck Island and Long Island.
