1954 Map of Cato

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Cato and Meridian anchor this mid-century portrait of northern Cayuga County, where the landscape is defined by the striking glacial drumlins of the Finger Lakes region. The map captures a transition in local education with the centralizing presence of the Cato-Meridian Central School, positioned between the two primary villages. Outside the town centers, the terrain is a grid of agricultural life, dotted with longstanding rural intersections like Bethel Corners, Ira Corners, and Benton Corners. Significant water bodies including Parker Pond and the northern reaches of Otter Lake break the rhythmic pattern of the hills, while Muskrat Creek winds through the southern lowlands. For genealogists and local historians, the document preserves the mid-1950s road network, including family-named routes like Brandt Road and Veley Road, and provides the location of the White Cem near the northeastern boundary.
