2013 Map of Jamesville

About this map

Butternut Creek carves a central path through this Onondaga County landscape, connecting the Jamesville Reservoir with the rugged elevations of the southern highlands. This modern topographic study reveals a mix of suburban expansion and deep-rooted rural character, anchored by the village of Jamesville and the crossroads at LaFayette. To the east, the historic settlement of Pompey sits atop a ridge, where both the Pompey Hill Protestant Cemetery and Pompey Hill Roman Catholic Cemetery offer valuable insights for genealogists. The rail infrastructure of the NY S & W Railroad follows the valley floor, passing through the narrow passage known as The Tunnel. Numerous smaller family-named landmarks like Mason Hill and Torry Hill persist alongside newer developments like Breezy Acres, illustrating the evolving land use in the hills south of Syracuse.
