1955 Map of Otisco Valley

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

Otisco Lake and the dramatic glacial valleys of the Onondaga Highlands define this 1955 survey. The landscape is characterized by steep ridges like Dutch Hill and Vesper Hill, which divide the drainages of Onondaga Creek and the Otisco Valley Creek. Settlement is concentrated in small upland hamlets such as Vesper, Otisco, and Tully Center, while the lowlands near Tully Lake show evidence of recreation and industry, including Assembly Park, Camp Hoover, and several Salt Wells. The presence of numerous small cemeteries, such as Hillsdale Cem and Neumans Cem, alongside the Otisco Valley Church, provides specific touchpoints for genealogical research in this rural New York township. The D L & W railroad corridor follows the valley floor in the east, tracing the natural path through the hills.
