About this map

Fort Ontario anchors the harbor entrance where the Oswego River meets the southern shore of Lake Ontario. During the early 1940s, the city of Oswego shows a dense urban grid containing the City Hall, Kingsford Park School, and the State Teachers College. Outside the city center, the landscape transitions into a network of rural school districts and family-named landmarks. Insights into the area's social fabric are found in the numerous localized cemeteries such as Irish Settlement Cem, Rice Cem, and Stevens Cem. The inland terrain is defined by low rises like Bunker Hill and Cornish Hill, with the State Barge Canal facilitating transit through the heart of the settlement. Small agricultural and residential pockets such as Fruit Valley, Southwest Oswego, and Furniss are connected by a web of local routes including Tug Hill Road and Washington Boulevard.
