About this map

Oneida Lake dominates this 1941 survey, with the Barge Canal Route 368 cutting through the center of the water. Along the northern shoreline, the lakeside villages of Constantia, Bernhards Bay, and Cleveland are connected by a series of points and bays, including Willard Pt and Taft Bay. These settlements reflect a well-established community during the early 1940s, supported by local institutions like the Dakin Bay Sch.

South of the lake, the terrain transitions into the town of Sullivan and the community of Bridgeport. This area is defined by winding waterways such as Chittenango Creek and Black Creek, the latter featuring the Black Cr Sch. Local landmarks like Nigger Mill Brook and Eaton Corners suggest a rural economy tied to the landscape before the post-war expansions altered many of these small-town corridors.
