Oneida County, NY

Oneida County is a county located in the U.S. state of New York. As of the 2010 census, the population was 234,878. The county seat is Utica. The name is in honor of the Oneida, an Iroquoian tribe that lives in the region.

Oneida County is in the central portion of New York State, east of Syracuse, and west of Albany. Oneida Lake is on the northwestern corner of the county, and the Adirondack Park is on the northeast. Part of the Tug Hill Plateau is in the northern part of the county. Interestingly, Oneida County’s highest point does not lie on either the plateau nor in the Adirondack Park, but in the county’s southern extremity. The peak’s name is Tassel Hill. It is located slightly southeast of Hardscrabble Road (Tassel Hill Road), between the villages of Waterville and Cassville.

The intersection of Erie Boulevard at Black River Boulevard in Rome, NY is unique with it's underpass for traffic turning from Erie Boulevard East to Black River Boulevard North. Built over the Black River Canal, they had a natural depression that they could build the underpass under, which helps turning cars navigate the intersection without delay. Only in two directions is there a stop ligth, in all other directions, traffic flows without interruption. To the north is Fort Stanwix.

I am experimenting with a new map type that allows you to display each year aerial photography is available for a site. Usually New York photographs all of state every 3-4 years, so some years will have no photography.
