1957 Map of Syracuse East

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Syracuse and its eastern suburbs are shown here during a period of massive infrastructure expansion, transitioning from nineteenth-century water and rail routes to the modern interstate era. The legacy of the Old Erie Canal and the Limestone Aqueduct sits in the shadow of major rail operations at the Dewitt Yards, while the newly revised landscape is dominated by the New York State Thruway, Interstate 690, and the sprawling Carrier Circle interchange. This juxtaposition of eras is clearest near De Witt and East Syracuse, where industrial and transit hubs press against long-established academic institutions like Syracuse University and Le Moyne College. The map also captures significant military and aviation footprints at Hancock Field U S Air Force and the Syracuse Hancock International Airport. To the south, the industrial scale of the Jamesville Rock Quarry and the protected terrain of Clark Reservation State Park provide a sharp contrast to the dense residential grids of Eastwood and Fayetteville.
