About this map

Butternut Creek carves a deep valley through the Onondaga County highlands, anchoring a landscape defined by significant topographic relief and historic hamlets. In the north, the settlement of Jamesville sits near the Jamesville Reservoir, a prominent water body flanked by the heights of Smoky Hollow and Moorehouse Flats. The terrain is punctuated by numerous named summits including Irish Hill, Thomas Hill, and Mason Hill, illustrating the glacial geomorphology of the region.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the township, from the LaFayette Rural Cem in the south to the Jamesville Walnut Grove Cem and the small Pioneer Cem near Sentinel Heights. The map traces the transition from the suburban edges of Southwood to the more rural, high-elevation communities of Pompey and LaFayette. Distinctive natural features like Stebbins Gulf and Brown Gulf mark the steep ravines that feed the local watershed, while The Tunnel indicates engineering adaptations to this complex vertical landscape.
