1900 Map of Tully

About this map

The Onondaga Indian Reservation serves as a prominent focal point in this turn-of-the-century landscape, positioned north of the deep glacial valleys and kettle lakes that define the region. The settlement patterns of the 1890s are clearly visible, from the cultural centers at Onondaga Castle and Indian Village to the agricultural crossroads of South Onondaga and Lafayette. The steep ridge lines of Dutch Hill and Bromley divide the drainage basins of Onondaga Creek and Butternut Creek, creating a varied topography where small hamlets like Vesper and Cardiff took root.
