2016 Map of Cayuga

About this map

Montezuma Marsh and the surrounding wetland corridor dominate the northwestern reaches of this map, illustrating the complex hydrology where the Clyde River and Seneca River converge. This 2016 survey captures a landscape defined by its glacial history and water management, with the Cay and Sen Canal Bridge and Mud Lock serving as physical markers of the region's historic transportation infrastructure. The village of Cayuga sits on the northeast shore of Cayuga Lake, while the upland drumlin fields to the east are dotted with small agricultural hamlets such as Fosterville and Relius. Genealogists will find a wealth of family history in the numerous small burial grounds scattered across the terrain, including the Maycumber Family Cem and the Cowan-Farnham Cem, which remain tucked away on local roads like Clark Street Rd.
