1943 Map of Jamesville

About this map

Butternut Creek carves a deep path through Onondaga County, anchoring a landscape where steep hills and glacial features define the settlement patterns. In the north, the County Penitentiary stands near the village of Jamesville, while the Jamesville Reservoir dominates the central valley. This wartime survey shows a rural economy transitioning into the mid-century, with the Delaware Lackawanna and Western railroad snaking through the terrain to serve hamlets like Onativia.
