About this map

Oneida Lake dominates this mid-century survey, with the Barge Canal Route cutting through its center. Along the northern shore, the New York Central and Hudson River railroad connects the waterfront villages of Constantia, Bernhards Bay, and Cleveland. These settlements are defined by their proximity to the water, with numerous named points and bays such as Bernhard Pt and Dakin Bay marking the irregular coastline.

South of the lake, the landscape shifts toward a rural agricultural pattern across the towns of Sullivan and Vienna. This area is dotted with small local landmarks and centers of community life, including Eaton Corners and several rural schools such as Lakewood Sch and Bushnell Sch. The convergence of Chittenango Creek and Tuttle Road near Bridgeport highlights the historical transition from water-based transport to the road networks of the 1940s.
