2010 Map of Oneida

About this map

Oneida sits at the heart of a landscape defined by the historic transport corridors of Central New York, including the path of the former Erie Canal near Lenox Basin and Durhamville. This 2010 survey shows the modern evolution of these old canal-side settlements and the surrounding village of Wampsville. The terrain is marked by significant hydrological features like Oneida Creek and Cowaselon Creek, which influenced early power and settlement patterns. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites throughout the quadrangle, from the large Glenwood Cemetery and Saint Patricks Cemetery near the city center to the Clockville Rural Cemetery further south. The southern reaches of the map climb toward West Hill and West Stockbridge Hill, where the transition from river valley to upland topography is punctuated by Buttermilk Falls near Lenox.
