2016 Map of Syracuse West

About this map

Onondaga Lake defines the central geography of this 2016 survey, with the urban sprawl of Syracuse and its surrounding suburbs radiating from its shores. The industrial and residential landscape of Solvay and the heights of Loomis Hill contrast with the concentrated institutional corridors housing SUNY Upstate Medical University and the Pomeroy College of Nursing. The map serves as a modern record of the region's extensive cemetery system, from the sprawling grounds of Oakwood Cemetery to the Onondaga County Veterans Memorial Cemetery near Taunton. Transportation networks are heavily represented by the CSX rail lines and significant local infrastructure like the Long Branch Road Bridge and Onondaga Lake Parkway. This contemporary survey captures the dense development of communities like Mattydale, Lyncourt, and Liverpool as they integrate with the historical terrain of the Lake Plain.
