The Oneida Lake Watershed If you live in the area outlined on this map, you are in the Oneida Lake watershed. A watershed is the total land area that drains into a stream, river, or lake. Spanning 872,722 acres (or 1,364 square miles), the Oneida Lake watershed encompasses six counties and 69 cities, towns, and villages. All the surface and ground water from precipitation and snowmelt within the entire region drains into Oneida Lake. Decisions regarding land use within the watershed have a direct influence on the water quality and aquatic biology in the lake. The protection of Oneida Lake involves all land, lakes and streams throughout the entire region. 90 ONONDAGA COUNTY ONONDAGA SYRACUSE 81 HASTINGS Central Square LAFAYETTE OSWEGO COUNTY Butternu t Creek DEWITT PARISH WEST MONROE CICERO Minoa East Syracuse Jamesville Reservoir ALBION reek Limestone C POMPEY Scriba Cree ORWELL Chase Pond k Kasoag Lake Panther Lake CONSTANTIA Vandercamp Pond Little River Oneida Lake MANILUS Fayetteville Manlius AMBOY WILLIAMSTOWN Cleveland SULLIVAN REDFIELD Chittenango Cazenovia Lake CAZENOVIA Canaseraga Creek o Creek Chittenag Mad River West Branch Fish Creek CAMDEN Cazenovia VIENNA LENOX FENNER NELSON FLORENCE Tuscaora Lake Camden Canastota ta Creek Canast o MONTAGUE OSCEOLA LINCOLN ANNSVILLE Fish Creek Sylvan Beach VERONA O n eida Cre e k E.
