About this map

Oneida Lake dominates this central New York landscape, its southern and northern shores lined with residential clusters and points that define the local geography. On the northern bank, the settlements of Constantia, Bernhards Bay, and Cleveland follow the shoreline, punctuated by landmarks like Dickinson Island and Bernhard Point. To the south, the village of Bridgeport sits at the intersection of several local routes, serving as a hub near the mouth of Chittenango Creek.

Tracing the rural cemetery records reveals the deep-seated history of the lakeside communities through sites such as Cleveland Cem, Lakeside Rural Cem, and Smith's Ridge Cem. The transition from the developed waterfront to the interior is marked by the expansive Cicero Swamp in the southwest and the elevated Smith Ridge to the southeast. These features illustrate a landscape shaped by both the immense water body and the protected wetlands that have influenced settlement patterns for generations.
