2016 Map of Oswego East

About this map

Oswego and its eastern surroundings occupy a strategic position where the Oswego River meets Lake Ontario. This 2016 survey shows the transition from the city's grid-patterned streets, such as E Seneca St and E Utica St, into the rural landscape of Oswego County. Numerous family and community burial grounds, including South Road Rural Cem, Riverside Cem, and Kingdom Cem, are scattered across the terrain, offering significant touchstones for genealogical research in the town of Scriba and the hamlet of Minetto. The landscape is defined by drumlin-like ridges such as Dutch Ridge and Deer Ridge, which run parallel to the river and influence the placement of historic farmsteads and crossroads settlements like Lansing and Jones Corners. The lakefront is marked by community beaches and points including Jo Lo Shores and Lange Beach Rd, reflecting the area's long-standing connection to the Great Lakes shoreline.
