1943 Map of Cato

USGS Topo · Published 1943

About this map

Glacial drumlins dominate this northern Cayuga County landscape, shaping the development of the agricultural and rail corridor during the mid-1940s. The village of Cato and the nearby settlement of Meridian serve as central hubs, connected by the newly established Cato-Meridian Central School. The Lehigh Valley railroad cuts through the terrain, with Ira Station providing a vital shipping point for the rural community of Ira. The map reveals a sophisticated network of local roads such as Federal Road and Bonta Bridge Road that navigate around numerous water bodies and lowlands, including Parker Pond and the expansive Otter Lake. Local heritage is anchored by sites like Union Hill Cem and Marble Ridge Cem, while unusual place names like Seldom Seen Swamp and Spook Woods reflect the distinct local character of the region.
