1955 Map of Sylvan Beach

About this map

The eastern shore of Oneida Lake defines this mid-century landscape, where the confluence of historic waterways and early transportation routes shaped the growth of Oneida and Madison Counties. Sylvan Beach and Verona Beach serve as the primary lakeside hubs, situated where Fish Creek and the Erie Canal meet the water. The infrastructure of the New York Ontario and Western Railroad is visible cutting through the terrain, connecting inland points like Fish Creek Station to the shoreline.
