1954 Map of Cato

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Glacial drumlins dictate the rural layout of Cayuga County in the mid-1950s, where clusters of homes and family farms gather at crossroads like Ira Corners, Bethel Corners, and Benton Corners. The twin villages of Cato and Meridian serve as the primary hubs of this landscape, connected by the Cato-Meridian Central School and a local Golf Course. To the south, the terrain softens into the lowlands surrounding Parker Pond and the extensive waters of Otter Lake. The northeastern corner is defined by the marshy expanse of Beaver Meadows and the winding course of Ninemile Creek. Genealogists will find interest in the documented rural burials at White Cem and other local plots, while the dense network of named family roads—including Baldwin Road, Kells Rd, and Humphrey Road—reveals the long-standing landownership patterns of this agricultural region.
