About this map

Onondaga Lake anchors this detailed modern survey of the western Syracuse metropolitan area, capturing the dense intersection of transit, industry, and institutional expansion. The urban footprint of Syracuse and Solvay is balanced by numerous preserved spaces and historic grounds, including the extensive Oakwood Cem and Rose Hill Cem. Educational and medical institutions such as Syracuse University, Upstate Medical University, and the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry occupy prominent positions in the city's east, while Onondaga Community College sits to the southwest.

Suburban and outlying settlements like Liverpool, Fairmount, and Lakeland demonstrate the post-war growth patterns of the region. The landscape is defined by its waterways, including Ninemile Creek and Ley Creek, alongside the critical infrastructure of the CSX rail lines. Notable landmarks such as Split Rock and the Onondaga County and City of Syracuse Criminal Courthouse provide specific points of interest for local historians studying the evolution of New York's Central region.
