About this map

The Kingdom and the surrounding hamlets of Onondaga County are defined by their proximity to the Seneca River and the historic Erie Canal corridor. In the early 21st century, this landscape remains a patchwork of agricultural lands and small crossroads settlements like Baird Corners, Little Utica, and Hortontown. The survey identifies numerous burial sites that anchor the local genealogy, including the Old Presbyterian Cemetery near Lysander and the Adams Cemetery further south.

Water dominates the topography, from the wide expanse of Cross Lake in the southwest to the marshy network of Mud Lake, Mud Lake Inlet, and Mud Lake Outlet. The map also captures specialized land use at Potters Tree Farm and Destiny Farms, illustrating how the rural character of the region has persisted alongside the engineering legacy of the canal system. Drainage features like Dead Creek and Ox Creek further illustrate the low-lying, water-dependent nature of this Central New York terrain.
