1954 Map of Oswego West

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Fort Ontario guards the mouth of the Oswego River where it meets Lake Ontario, anchoring a landscape that balances maritime history with academic growth and rural heritage. This 1950s survey captures the city of Oswego as its modern footprint began to expand, notably through the development of the SUNY College at Oswego campus along the shoreline. Beyond the urban center, the map documents a series of small agricultural and residential nodes such as Fruit Valley, Southwest Oswego, and Oswego Center, each defined by local landmarks like School No 9 and Saint Mary's Chapel. For genealogists, the map is particularly valuable for locating historical burial grounds, including the Union Village Rural Cem and the Irish Settlement Cem, which mark the paths of early immigrant families. The terrain transitions from the rocky lakefront at Burt Point to the inland rises of Bunker Hill and Tug Hill, drained by many small waterways like Eightmile Creek.
