1955 Map of Otisco Valley

About this map

The glacial valley of Otisco Lake and the interconnected chain of the Tully Lakes define this central New York landscape. This mid-century survey captures the rural character of the region as the uplands were transitioning toward conservation, evidenced by the State Reforestation Area in the south. The eastern portion of the map showcases a dense concentration of water bodies including Crooked Lake, Green Lake, and Song Lake, which supported seasonal recreational sites like Assembly Park and Camp Hoover.
