About this map

Plainville and the namesake settlement of Lysander anchor this landscape where the boundaries of Onondaga, Cayuga, and Oswego counties converge. The geography is defined by the winding course of the Seneca River, which flows past Maloney Island and feeds into the eastern reaches of Cross Lake. A dense network of rural roads, such as Co Rte 8 and Co Line Rd, connects small crossroads and farming hamlets like Baird Corners, Floridaville, and Little Utica.

Genealogists will find an exceptional concentration of burial sites throughout the townships, including the Old Presbyterian Cem and several family or community plots like Adams Cem, Jacksonville Cem, and Hortontown Cem. The presence of features such as Phosphate Aly and the various outlets and inlets of Mud Lake suggests a history of local industry and drainage management in this transitional water-rich environment.
