2019 Map of Moravia

About this map

Moravia sits as a primary hub within this central New York landscape, situated where Mill Creek and Dresseruille Cr meet the northward-flowing Owasco Inlet. The map reveals a high density of rural cemeteries, such as the Quaker Church Cem and Old Settlers Cem, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research in this long-settled region. The terrain is defined by significant elevation changes, from the heights of Owasco Hill and Oak Hill down to the dramatic shelf where Montville Falls and Parson Falls are located. This topography dictated the placement of early settlements like Montville and Locke, which clustered around water power and the valley floor. Transportation patterns are anchored by the north-south corridor of the inlet, while a network of upland roads, including Moravia Venice Townline Rd, connects outlying hamlets like East Venice and Goosetree to the central valley villages.
