About this map

Oneida Lake dominates this landscape, its shoreline dotted with recreational and residential settlements at a mid-century peak of development. The northern shore in Vienna features the Stone Barn State Forest and the community of Jewell, while the southern shore in Sullivan and Lenox shows a dense concentration of lakefront properties at Oneida Lake Beach West and Oneida Lake Beach East.

A Seaplane Base near Lakeport Bay points to the lake's importance for aviation and leisure. Traces of older transportation networks remain visible, including an Old RR Grade and Old Railroad Grade that run parallel to the shore, signaling the transition from rail to automotive travel. Local genealogy is well-represented by numerous burial grounds such as Lakewood Cem and Oneida Lake Cem, along with neighborhood markers like Hall Corners and Gees Corner.
