Oran, Manlius, East Syracuse Topos Circa 1943 🗺️
About 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.
