About this map

The eastern shore of Owasco Lake and the western edge of Skaneateles Lake define this Finger Lakes landscape, where agricultural uplands meet the narrow glacial valleys of central New York. The community of Owasco serves as a northern anchor, while the southern marshlands of Owasco Flats illustrate the hydrologic transition into the Owasco River. Small hamlets like Niles, Austin, and Omro are connected by a network of rural roads that follow the ridges and valleys, such as Dutch Hollow Brook, which cuts a prominent path through the center of the quadrangle.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, including Owasco Rural Cem, West Niles Rural Cem, and the Twelve Corners Cem. Notable landmarks such as Murphy Field and Globe Hotel Corners reflect the area's deep-rooted social and agricultural history, while points of land like Adams Point and Rice Point document the developed lakefront character that has long defined this region.
