1955 Map of Spafford

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Skaneateles Lake and Otisco Lake dominate this mid-century view of Central New York, where steep hillsides meet narrow shorelines marked by numerous points and landings. The settlement pattern reflects an agricultural and lakeside economy, with small hamlets like Borodino, Spafford, and New Hope serving as local hubs. These communities are anchored by institutional markers like School No 8 and Spafford Cemetery. Along the eastern shore of Otisco Lake, Gamble Mill and Williams Grove indicate historic industrial and recreational sites. Further south, the landscape shifts toward the State Reforestation Area, where the terrain steepens around Bear Swamp Creek. Traces of the region's natural beauty are preserved at Carpenter Falls and Glen Cove, while various named points like Stag Horn Point and Threemile Point define the jagged coastline of the Finger Lakes.
