1954 Map of Cato

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

Drumlin formations dominate this Cayuga County landscape, creating a distinct north-south orientation for the area's roads and drainage patterns in the mid-1950s. The villages of Cato and Meridian serve as the primary hubs of activity, linked by the Cato-Meridian Central School. This central corridor is defined by numerous small water bodies including Parker Pond and Otter Lake, which are hemmed in by the elongated glacial hills. The township boundaries of Victory, Ira, and Lysander meet in this region, where rural life is anchored by family-named crossroads such as Ira Corners, Bethel Corners, and the curiously named K Cat Corners. The presence of the White Cem and other burial grounds provides vital data points for genealogists tracing families in the townships surrounding Muskrat Creek.
