2013 Map of Ludlowville

About this map

Cayuga Lake dominates the central landscape of this Tompkins County quadrangle, where the steep eastern shoreline is punctuated by points such as Crowbar Point and Myers Point. On the western shore, the dramatic descent of Taughannock Cr culminates at the famous Taughannock Falls, a major geological landmark. The settlement pattern reflects a deeply rooted agricultural and lakeside history, with hamlets like Ludlowville and Lansingville serving as inland hubs connected by a network of farm-to-market roads. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several family and community burial grounds, including German Cem, Bower Cem, and Lake Ridge Cem. The transition from the lakefront's recreational areas, like Lansing Town Marina, to the elevated farming plateaus of Brooks Hill and French Hill illustrates the region's dual identity as both a scenic Finger Lakes destination and a productive rural landscape.
