1902 Map of Auburn

The western edge is dominated by the long shoreline of Cayuga Lake, featuring points of interest like Frontenac Id. and the village of Union Springs. To the north, the Seneca River and the Canal cut through the Montezuma Marsh, where Mud Lock stands as a vital piece of late 19th-century infrastructure. Rural life is well-documented through named corners and crossings such as Barbers Corners and Coonley Corners, alongside local industry at Howard Mill.
