About this map

Ninemile Creek carves a deep valley through this Onondaga County landscape, serving as a corridor for settlement from Marcellus southward toward the headwaters of Otisco Lake. The map reveals a high concentration of burial grounds, including the Marcellus Village Cemetery and Saint Francis Cemetery, which speak to the deep-rooted family histories of this rural district.

Elevated terrain features like Bishop Hill and Baker Hill define the local topography, while the southern shoreline of the lake is dotted with small communities such as Amber, Willow Dale, and Glen Cove. The transition from the more developed village in the north to the hollows like Pumpkin Hollow and Tyler Hollow illustrates the area's mix of residential centers and agricultural heritage. Genealogists will find interest in the numerous named cemeteries and the cluster of crossroads hamlets including Navarino and Marietta.
