About this map

Onondaga Lake dominates this central New York landscape, surrounded by a dense network of suburban and industrial development. The shoreline features unique historical and transportation markers, including the Fort Sainte Marie De Gannentaha and the Onondaga Lake Seaplane Base. To the southeast, the urban fabric of Syracuse transitions into academic and institutional grounds at Syracuse University and the State University of New York Upstate Medical University.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the numerous burial grounds documented, such as Woodlawn Cemetery, Saint Agnes Cemetery, and Veteran's Memorial Cemetery. The western corridor reflects industrial and residential growth in Solvay and Westvale, while the northern reach includes the distinct communities of Liverpool and Mattydale. Small waterways like Ninemile Creek and Ley Creek cut through these developed areas, tracing the natural drainage towards the lake.
