2016 Map of Moravia

About this map

Moravia and Locke serve as the primary hubs in this Finger Lakes region landscape, where the valley floor of Owasco Flats meets the surrounding uplands. The drainage of Owasco Inlet dictates the settlement pattern, drawing roads and residential clusters like Montville and Toll Gate Corners toward the water's edge. This 2016 survey documents a high density of small family and community burial grounds, including the Old Quaker Cem, Old Settlers Cem, and Baker Cem, which provide significant geographic clues for genealogical research. Natural landmarks such as Montville Falls and Parsons Falls highlight the dramatic elevation changes where Mill Creek and other tributaries descend toward the inlet. The map also records smaller hamlets and named crossroads like Wilson Corners, Chipman Corners, and Goosetree, preserving the distinct identities of these rural Cayuga County neighborhoods.
