About this map

The Onondaga Indian Reservation centers this turn-of-the-century landscape, positioned north of the Finger Lakes region in Onondaga County. This era captures a transition in local post offices and small settlements, such as Maple Grove (Case P.O.) and Onondaga Castle, which served as vital community hubs before rural consolidation. The terrain is deeply grooved by glacial valleys, home to the Syracuse Binghamton and New York RR and the Delaware Lackawanna and Western RR, which facilitated the movement of goods and people through the high-relief landscape.

Water plays a central role in the southern portion of the sheet, where a string of glacial kettle lakes including Big Lake, Song Lake, and Crooked Lake are surrounded by early recreational developments like Assembly Park and Tully Lake Park. Notable landmarks such as Tinker Falls and Fellows Falls highlight the dramatic drops from the upland plateaus, while smaller hamlets like Apulia Station reflect the influence of the rail network on the local economy.
