About this map

Oneida Lake dominates this southern shoreline survey, where a series of residential developments and historic points line the water's edge. Significant lakeside settlements like Jewell and Lakeport are mapped in detail alongside newer communities such as Oneida Lake Beach West and Oneida Lake Beach East. The landscape is defined by its points and bays, from the prominence of Nunnery Point in the northwest to the sheltered waters of Messenger Bay and the navigational hazard of Messenger Shoal.

Moving inland, the map transitions to the rural crossroads of Madison County, featuring small hamlets like Whitelaw and Gees Corner. Genealogists will find value in the precise locations of several burial grounds, including Whitelaw Cem, Lakewood Cem, and the Walker Corners Cem in the southeast. Numerous small waterways, such as Stephens Cr and Canaseraga Cr, drain the level terrain toward the lake, reflecting the traditional drainage patterns of this central New York region.
