1902 Map of Skaneateles

About this map

Skaneateles Lake dominates this Finger Lakes landscape, where a defined Steamboat Route underscores the importance of water travel at the turn of the century. The map illustrates a bustling lake-dependent economy, from the northern industrial corridor of Skaneateles Falls, Mottville, and Willow Glen to the southern recreation and transport nodes at Borodino Landing and Spafford Landing. Significant elevation drops are captured at Carpenter Falls and Glen Haven, where the terrain steeply descends into the deep lake basins.
