1955 Map of West Of Texas

About this map

Lake Ontario dominates this mid-century survey, with its deep-water hydrography and bathymetry soundings reaching far offshore. The shoreline is defined by the Scriba town line and the transition from the lake's expanse to the developed coastal fringe. The map documents the presence of the U S Military Reservation Camp Oswego tucked along the coast, representing the era's strategic maritime presence on the Great Lakes. Inland, the rural character of Oswego County is preserved through local landmarks such as School No 16 and the small residential clusters at Lycoming and Lakeview. The transportation network of the time is visible through primary thoroughfares like Lakeview Road and Parkhurst Road, which provided essential access to the waterfront and the sheltering inlet of Sunset Bay.
