About this map

Oneida Lake dominates the upper half of this landscape, its waters serving as part of the Erie Canal route through central New York. Along the southern shore, the township of Cicero shows significant mid-century suburban expansion, particularly near the Cicero Interchange and the residential clusters of North Syracuse. The southern half of the map is defined by the expansive Cicero Swamp and the Cicero State Game Management Area, where elevated features like Hall Island and Geersbeck Island emerge from the wetlands.

Genealogists and local historians can find essential landmarks like the Cicero Center Cem and Sacred Heart Ch, while recreational features like the Drive-in Theater and multiple golf courses reflect the era's social character. To the north, across the lake, the map records the older settlements of Constantia and Toad Harbor, alongside protected lands such as the Threemile Bay State Game Management Area. The inclusion of Hancock Field U S Air Force in the southwest corner notes the significant military presence in the Syracuse area during this period.
