About this map

The Onondaga Indian Reservation anchors the northern portion of this landscape, showing the historic locations of Onondaga Castle and Indian Village along the banks of Onondaga Creek. This 1897 survey captures a Central New York terrain defined by dramatic glacial valleys and a string of lakes including Tully Lake, Song Lake, and Otisco Lake. The transportation network is dominated by the Delaware Lackawanna and Western railroad, which follows the deep valley floor, connecting rural depots like Apulia Station and the village of Tully.

Cultural and recreational developments at the turn of the century are evident at Assembly Park and Tully Lake Park, while smaller agrarian settlements like Cardiff, Lafayette, and Maple Grove (Case P.O.) are shown with individual building footprints. From the heights of Dutch Hill to the falls at Fellows Falls and Tinker Falls, the map documents the complex topography and drainage patterns that shaped the early 1900s settlement of Onondaga and Cortland counties.
