Oran, Manlius, East Syracuse Topos Circa 1943
I was curious about the old New York Central Rail Grade that they at one point proposed extending Interstate 690 East to Oran along NY 92, and was able to find it on these old topographic maps from 1943. Certainly would have eased congestion a lot in Fayetteville, but probably not popular in Fayetteville or Manlius -- and probably would have encouraged a lot more sprawl around Cazenovia.
Harrison Street Viaduct at Night
Driving I-81 through Syracuse at night. Soon to just be a memory once the Harrison Street Viaduct is removed in favor of a bypass around the city and city level streets.
Oswego Blvd Expressway – Canal
This shows how the Oswego Boulevard Expressway (now called Interstate 81) follows the old Oswego Canal. Topographic map 1958, Canal map is from 1834.
