2013 Map of Spafford

About this map

Skaneateles Lake dominates the central landscape of this western Onondaga County region, flanked by steep bluffs and several residential lake-front clusters. Settlements such as Borodino, Spafford, and New Hope serve as the primary inland hubs, while the shoreline is dotted with specific points and landings including Borodino Landing, Gregory Landing, and Spafford Landing. The presence of numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Spafford Cem, James Cem, and Kelloggsville Cem, provides valuable documentation for local genealogists. In the northeast corner, the map also includes a portion of the Lower Basin of Otisco Lake, where communities like Rice Grove and Williams Grove line the water. Natural landmarks such as Carpenter Falls and Barber Gulf illustrate the dramatic elevation changes that characterize the Finger Lakes topography, while Gamble Mill points toward the area's historical industrial processing sites.
