 The Greater Syracuse area is a region of rolling hills,
flat plains, lakes and streams. The City of Syracuse is located
on a rise at the southern end of Onondaga Lake. The gently rolling
terrain stretches north of the city for 30 miles, where it meets
Lake Ontario. The Finger Lakes begin 20 miles to the southwest
and Oneida Lake is 8 miles northeast.
City altitude ranges from 364 to 681 feet, while approximately
five miles south of Syracuse, the hills mount to about 1,500 feet.
Immediately to the west, the terrain is rolling and elevated 500
to 800 feet above mean sea level.
