2023 Map of Oran

About this map

Limestone Creek and its western branch carve through a series of dramatic ravines and glacial features such as Hatch Gulf and Brown Gulf in this corner of Onondaga County. This landscape is defined by its verticality, where water drops over Edwards Falls and Brickyard Falls near Buellville and Manlius. The settlement pattern follows these watercourses and the productive valleys between the ridges, connecting small hamlets like Pompey Center and Atwell Corners across the undulating terrain. Significant genealogy resources are scattered throughout the hills, including numerous family and community burial grounds such as Southwell Cem and the Blocktown Cem near the southern boundary. To the east, the map captures the western shoreline of Cazenovia Lake, while the village of Delphi Falls sits near the Delphi Falls Baptist Church in the southeast.
