About this map

The Old Erie Canal winds through the heart of this landscape, marking the transition between the glacial flatlands of the Pine Plains and the rising hills of Sullivan and Manlius. This early 1970s survey captures a geography defined by the overlapping layers of New York's transport history, where the modern New York State Thruway and the Penn Central railroad corridors parallel the historic canal route.

Settlement patterns reveal a mix of established village centers like Fayetteville and Chittenango alongside smaller hamlets such as Fyler Settlement and Eagle Village. Local recreation and conservation are centered on the deep waters of Green Lake and Round Lake within Green Lakes State Park, while industry is represented by numerous Gravel Pits and a substantial Quarry south of Bishop Brook. Genealogists will find many family-linked landmarks, including the Pine Plains Cem and schools like the Bolivar Road Sch.
