2013 Map of Cato

About this map

The village of Cato and its neighbor Meridian anchor this 2013 survey of Cayuga County, where the agricultural landscape is shaped by the glacial drumlins and wetlands of Central New York. This area, largely defined by the rural corridors of State Route 34 and Route 370, contains numerous small crossroads and historic settlements such as Bethel Corners, Ira, and Ira Corners. Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial grounds, including the Meridian Village Cemetery, Union Hill Cemetery, and Dutton Cemetery located near Muskrat Creek. The southern portion of the map transitions into the significant waterways of Parker Pond, Otter Lake, and the shoreline of Cross Lake, where the Cross Lake Marina marks the recreational focus of the Seneca River basin.
