About this map

Oneida Lake dominates this mid-1970s survey, with the Erie Canal route clearly indicated through its central waters. Along the northern shoreline, the lakeside villages of Constantia, Bernhards Bay, and Cleveland follow the path of an Old RR Grade, reflecting the historical importance of rail transit along the waterfront. To the south, the landscape transitions into the wetlands of Cicero Swamp and the protected lands of the Cicero State Game Management Area, highlighting the contrast between settled lakefront communities and the preserved natural environment.

Local development is concentrated near Bridgeport, where Chittenango Creek flows into the lake. Significant landmarks like the Fish Hatchery near Sunset Bay and various points of interest such as Shackelton Point and Dutchman Island provide specific reference points for those studying the evolution of recreational and industrial use of the shoreline during this era. The map also delineates county and town boundaries, including the intersection of Oswego, Onondaga, and Madison counties.
