About this map

Owasco Lake and the Owasco River define the southern landscape of this region, where the city grid meets the agricultural reaches of Cayuga County. The map documents a dense network of suburban and rural developments, including the Melrose Park community and the recreation areas at Highland Beach. Commercial and educational hubs are prominent, from the Finger Lakes Mall in the west to Cayuga County Community College centrally located near the Auburn Reservoir.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial records across this survey, which identifies numerous small family and community plots such as the Farmer Family Cem, McMasters Corners Cem, and the Sand Beach Cem. Settlement patterns are marked by distinct corners and crossings like Sherlock Corners and Shumaker Crossing, illustrating the persistent layout of local hamlets. Agricultural operations such as Montross Farms and Gibbs Dairy Farm represent the continued farming legacy of the area north of the city.
