2013 Map of Oswego West

About this map

Lake Ontario defines the northern edge of this coastal landscape, where the Oswego River meets the harbor. The lakeside area is anchored by Suny Coll At Oswego and the Oswego Harbor West Pierhead Light, marking the vital maritime entry to the city. Moving inland, the terrain rises toward localized high points like Tug Hill and Bunker Hill, with numerous small watercourses such as Rice Cr and Snake Cr draining toward the Great Lake. Rural life is evidenced by the distribution of several family and community burial grounds, including the Irish Settlement Cem and Union Village Rural Cem. Smaller settlements such as Fruit Valley and Furniss are connected by a grid of local roads, while the Fruit Valley Orchard and Camp Hollis reflect the area's agricultural and recreational character in the early 21st century.
