About this map

Skaneateles Lake and Owasco Lake define the eastern and western edges of this central New York landscape, where agricultural tradition meets residential growth. The plateau between these glacial lakes is etched by Dutch Hollow Brook and Decker Cr, supporting a network of small settlements like Niles, Austin, and Omro. Local history is preserved in several burial grounds, ranging from the prominent Owasco Rural Cem to the private Humphrey Howland Burial near the southern shore.

Transportation and agriculture intersect at landmarks such as Murphy Field Airport and Twin Birch Farms, while the lakefronts show dense clusters of named points and coves. Landings and points like Adams Point, Rice Point, and Indian Cove indicate the long-standing recreational and residential appeal of the waterfront. Road names such as Cheese Factory Rd and Cream Hollow Rd offer a direct link to the area's dairy heritage, providing geographic context for family historians tracing roots in the Finger Lakes region.
