2010 Map of Ovid

About this map

Cayuga Lake and Seneca Lake frame this central Finger Lakes landscape, where the agricultural plateaus of Seneca County are marked by centuries of settlement. The village of Ovid sits at the heart of the quadrangle, surrounded by a high concentration of burial grounds including the Old Ovid Village Cemetery, Holy Cross Cemetery, and Union Cemetery. To the north, the massive footprint of the Seneca Army Depot dominates the western side of Romulus, a stark contrast to the small rural crossroads like Marsh Corner, Hayt Corners, and Coan Corners. Along the eastern shore, the transition from lakefront leisure at Poplar Beach to the wetlands of Bilberry Swamp illustrates the varied terrain. The map also records specialized land use, from the Buttonwood Grove Winery near Tannery Corners to the Camp Babcock Hovey scout camp on the western bluffs, reflecting the region's blend of defense, agriculture, and recreation.
