1958 Map of Syracuse West

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Syracuse and its western suburbs appear here during a period of significant post-war expansion, as indicated by the sprawling residential developments in Westvale and Mattydale. The map captures the industrial and transportation infrastructure that shaped the region, from the New York State Thruway cutting across the northern reaches to the extensive rail lines of the New York Central and Delaware Lackawanna and Western. Along the shores of Onondaga Lake, the historic Fort Ste Marie De Gandentaha stands near the State Fairgrounds, reflecting a landscape where colonial history and modern recreation coexist. Institutional landmarks are prominent, including the Syracuse University campus and a dense network of parish schools like St Brigids Sch. Higher elevations to the south around Onondaga Hill and Loomis Hill provide a geographic contrast to the lake basin, dotted with local landmarks like the Loomis Hill Cem and Bellevue Country Club.
