Seneca Lake shores and the high ridges of the Finger Lakes National Forest define this landscape between the towns of Lodi and Hector. The terrain rises sharply from the lake to the prominent Hector Backbone, a massive landform that runs parallel to the shore. Small agricultural settlements and crossroads like Lodi Center, Townsendville, and East Steamburg dot the interior, connected by a network of rural roads that trace the undulating topography. Waterways like Mill Cr and Curry Cr have carved deep drainages into the hillside, leading toward the dramatic Silver Thread Falls near the lakeshore. Genealogists will find several historic burial grounds including Lodi Cem, Townsendville Cem, and the more secluded Cronk Cem, providing clear evidence of early family settlements in this Finger Lakes region.
