About this map

Highland Park and the prominent De Ruyter Reservoir anchor this 1940s landscape, which spans the intersection of Onondaga, Madison, and Cortland counties. The area is defined by a series of steep ridges and creek valleys, including Stockham Hill, Arab Hill, and Morgan Hill. The village of Fabius sits in the northwest, while the southern reaches follow the various branches of Tioughnioga Creek. A dense network of small rural schoolhouses, such as School No 11 and School No 15, reflects a mid-century community structure still tied to its district origins. Transportation in the region relies on significant routes like the Skaneateles Hamilton Turnpike and the Lehigh Valley RR, which passes through the village of De Ruyter. Numerous small family and community burial grounds, including Beach Cem and Burdick Cem, are scattered across the uplands near settlements like Cowles Settlement and Gooseville Cors.
