About this map

The rural uplands of the Schuyler and Tompkins county line are defined by high ridges and the headwaters of several Finger Lakes tributaries. Centered on the crossroads of Mecklenburg, the landscape transitions from the agricultural fields of Ulysses and Enfield into the conservation lands of the south. The rugged slopes of Connecticut Hill and Buck Hill overlook the southern reaches of the quadrangle, where the Connecticut Hill State Game Management Area occupies much of the high ground.

Small hamlets like Perry City, Trumbull Corners, and Smith Valley remain connected by an intricate network of country roads including Stillwell Road and Fish Road. Near the western edge, the northern tip of Cayuta Lake is visible, with a local Grange Hall nearby. Notable landmarks such as the Enfield Sch and Willis Airport provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracing the development of these Finger Lakes communities during the late 1960s.
