About this map

Butternut Creek carves a central path through this Onondaga County landscape, connecting the village of Jamesville with southern hamlets like Onativia. The terrain is defined by significant ridges and depressions, including Stebbins Gulf and Brown Gulf, which frame the high ground of Torry Hill and Mason Hill. This 2023 survey illustrates the enduring rural character of the region, where older residential patterns persist alongside modern infrastructure such as the East Syracuse Reservoir.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites scattered across the hills, from the large Jamesville Walnut Grove Cem to the smaller, more isolated Spoor Burial Ground and Bush Cem. The map captures the intersection of historical turnpikes and local roads that once served small milling and farming communities at Smoky Hollow and Sentinel Heights, providing a precise record of current land use and water resources like Green Lake.
