About this map

The boundary between Schuyler and Tompkins counties bisects this Finger Lakes landscape, where agricultural plateaus meet steep wooded hollows. The village of Mecklenburg serves as a central hub, while smaller hamlets like Perry City, Trumbull Corners, and Cayutaville anchor the surrounding rural road network. The map reveals a high density of burial grounds, including the McIntyre Settlement Cem and the Carman Road Quaker Cem, which point to early pioneer lineages and Quaker communities that established these upland farms.

Surface waters like Taughannock Cr and Enfield Cr carve through the terrain, draining towards the region's famous gorges. To the southwest, the marshy edges of Cayuta Lake and the Finger Lakes National Forest indicate a shift toward conservation and recreation. The presence of the Culver Airfield and the Enfield Presbyterian church illustrate the mix of aviation history and long-standing religious institutions defining this New York countryside.
