2010 Map of Spafford

About this map

Skaneateles Lake and Otisco Lake define the geography of this central New York region, where the steep, sculpted shorelines create a series of prominent landmarks such as Hardscrabble Point and Threemile Point. Small lakeside communities like Borodino Landing and Spafford Landing reflect the area's transition from early milling at sites like Gamble Mill to a landscape focused on summer recreation and residential life. The interior plateau is marked by a network of hamlets including Borodino, New Hope, and Kelloggsville, each anchored by historical burial grounds like the Borodino Cemetery and Kelloggsville Cemetery. A unique modern landmark, the Maus Marineland Seaplane Base, is situated on the eastern shore of Skaneateles Lake near Gregory Landing, while the natural drop of the terrain is captured at Carpenter Falls along Bear Swamp Creek.
