1973 Map of Manlius

About this map

Green Lakes State Park and the historic route of the Old Erie Canal State Park anchor the landscape of Onondaga County in the early 1970s. The map illustrates a region in transition, where established village centers like Fayetteville and Manlius sit alongside post-war developments, indicated by numerous trailer parks and golf courses. The northern portion is dominated by the marshy expanse of the Cicero Swamp State Wildlife Management Area, while the central corridor is bisected by the New York State Thruway and the Conrail lines. Local genealogy and history are preserved in the locations of Pine Plains Cem and St Agnes Cem, alongside long-standing rural junctions such as Fyler Settlement and Weaver Corner. The presence of a large Quarry and various Gravel Pits reflects the area's ongoing industrial extraction activities.
