1939 Map of Syracuse West

USGS Topo · Published 1939

About this map

Onondaga Lake dominates this pre-war landscape, bordered by the emerging residential neighborhoods of Liverpool, Solvay, and Syracuse. The area serves as a significant regional crossroads where the New York Central railroad and the Erie Canal (Abandoned) intersect near the State Fairgrounds. This map records the industrial and institutional footprint of the late 1930s, featuring the Salt Museum and the reconstructed Fort Ste Marie De Gannentaha on the eastern shore. To the south, the city's growth is marked by prominent landmarks such as Syracuse University and Oakwood Cemetery. Evidence of the region’s earlier engineering remains visible at Geers Lock, while the expanding suburbs of Fairmount, Westvale, and Mattydale show the early twentieth-century transition from rural township lands in Geddes and Salina to dense urban development.
