1943 Map of Marcellus

USGS Topo · Published 1943

About this map

Marcellus and the surrounding Onondaga County countryside are defined by a network of historic thoroughfares, including the Seneca Turnpike and the Cherry Valley Turnpike. This 1943 survey, conducted by the Tennessee Valley Authority for the War Department, illustrates a landscape where small hamlets like Navarino, Marietta, and Clintonville were connected by steep-walled depressions like Pumpkin Hollow. The topography is particularly striking around the northern reach of Otisco Lake, where the shoreline transitions into The Narrows. Numerous family-named landmarks and rural schoolhouses, such as School No 8 and School No 4, reflect the era's local community structure. Genealogists will find exceptional value in the density of burial grounds throughout the townships, from St Francis Cem near the village center to remote plots like Burns Cem and Amber Cem overlooking the water.
