1899 Map of Skaneateles

USGS Topo · Published 1899

About this map

The Finger Lakes region of central New York is anchored here by the deep glacial troughs of Skaneateles Lake and Otisco Lake. In this era, the northern outlet of Skaneateles Lake is a concentrated corridor of water-powered industry and transport, where the villages of Mottville, Skaneateles Falls, and Marysville follow the descending stream. The map records a prominent Steamboat Route navigating the length of the lake, connecting the main village of Skaneateles with remote points like Borodino Landing, Glen Haven, and Spafford Landing. The surrounding hillsides are densely settled with small crossroads such as Baptist Four Corners, Shepard Settlement, and Twelve Corners, reflecting a mature 19th-century agricultural landscape. To the east, the village of Marcellus sits at the head of a steep valley, while the southern reaches of the map show the rugged terrain near Carpenter Falls and Kelloggsville.
