1973 Map of Manlius

About this map

Fayetteville and Manlius anchor the southwestern portion of this Onondaga County landscape, showing the suburban character of the early 1970s alongside significant historical infrastructure. The Old Erie Canal cuts a distinctive horizontal path across the center, preserved in part by Erie Canal State Park, while the New York State Thruway and Penn Central tracks facilitate modern transit nearby. To the north, the geography shifts into the lower-lying Pine Plains and Cicero Swamp, dotted with smaller communities like Kirkville and Fyler Settlement. Local heritage is visible in the placement of the Tuscarora Cem and Pine-Plains Cem. The presence of several Gravel Pits and a Filtration Plant indicates the local industrial activity and utility management required for the growing population centered around landmarks like the Fayetteville-Manlius High Sch.
