1955 Map of Jamesville

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Jamesville Reservoir and its adjoining Jamesville Beach sit at the center of this mid-1950s survey, illustrating the mid-century intersection of infrastructure and public recreation in Onondaga County. The village of Jamesville serves as a hub, positioned near the County Penitentiary and several large Rock Quarries that mark the local industry. The landscape is defined by the steep relief of Smoky Hollow and various hills like Mason Hill and Torry Hill, with the Delaware Lackawanna and Western RR winding through the valley bottom. To the south, the settlement of La Fayette is anchored by its Central Sch, while the presence of scattered family-named burial grounds like Stebbins Cem and Bush Cem provides valuable points of interest for genealogists tracing the rural heritage of the De Witt and Pompey townships.
