About this map

Skaneateles Lake dominates the southern half of this landscape, its eastern shore dotted with points and beaches including Shotwell Point, Jones Beach, and Fivemile Point. The village of Skaneateles sits at the northern tip of the water, where the outflow becomes Skaneateles Creek, a waterway that supported a string of industrial and residential hamlets including Willow Glen, Mottville, Long Bridge, Marysville, and Skaneateles Falls.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds throughout the countryside, from Lakeview Cemetery and Saint Marys Cemetery near the village to the more isolated Van Etten Cemetery, Gardner Cemetery, and Quaker Cemetery. The map also details early agricultural and transport nodes like Shepard Settlement, Baptist Corners, and the Skaneateles Aero Drome. To the west, the topography softens into the large Cedar Swamp near Degroff, where Sucker Brook winds through the low-lying terrain.
