About this map

Onondaga Castle and the nearby Indian Village occupy the valley floor where the Onondaga Creek flows north toward Syracuse. This landscape is defined by its deep glacial valleys and the high points that divide them, including Bare Mtn, Case Hill, and Manns Hill. The settlement pattern reflects long-established crossroads and small rural clusters such as South Onondaga, Lords Corners, and Cardiff.

Genealogists and local researchers can locate several well-preserved burial grounds, including the South Onondaga Cem, Maple Grove Cem, and Webb Hollow Cem. These sites, along with landmarks like the Hitchings Road Bridge, provide a clear picture of the community structure south of the city. The drainage network is particularly detailed, showing the W Br Onondaga Cr and Harbor Brook as they navigate the varied elevations of the Onondaga hills.
