About this map

Salmon Creek and its tributaries, including Little Salmon Creek and Big Salmon Creek, define the north-south drainage of this agricultural landscape in southern Cayuga County. The topography is characterized by long, glacial drumlin-like ridges such as Long Hill, which hem in the narrow valleys. A network of rural crossroads, many bearing family names, serves as the backbone of the local community, from Stewart Corners and Wheeler Corners in the north to Bowers Corners and Goodyear Corners in the south.
