2013 Map of Syracuse West

About this map

Onondaga Lake serves as the central focal point for this urban and suburban landscape, surrounded by a dense network of residential communities and institutional landmarks. The map documents the extensive footprint of Syracuse University, including the iconic Carrier Dome and J. Stanley Coyne Stadium, alongside the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry. Significant historical and cultural sites are scattered throughout the region, from the commemorative Fort Sainte Marie de Gannentaha on the lake's eastern shore to the numerous hilltop cemeteries like Oakwood Cemetery and Rose Hill Cemetery. The infrastructure reflects a complex integration of water management and transportation, featuring the Westcott Reservoir and Woodland Reservoir, the CSX rail lines, and the Onondaga Creek Bridge. Communities such as Liverpool, Solvay, and Galeville wrap around the water, while Onondaga Community College occupies the higher ground to the southwest at Onondaga Hill.
