About this map

The Seneca Army Depot dominates the northwestern landscape of this Finger Lakes quadrangle, its extensive network of patrol roads and munitions storage structures like Bundle Ammo Pack Rd situated between the shores of Seneca Lake and Cayuga Lake. The central ridge, which divides the two watersheds, is anchored by the village of Ovid, where the historic Old Ovid Village Cem and nearby Holy Cross Cem suggest generations of local heritage.

Agricultural patterns and small rural settlements like Romulus, Hayt Corners, and Gilbert define the high ground, while the eastern slopes descending toward Dean Cove and Poplar Beach are carved by drainage features such as Hicks Gully and Big Hollow Cr. In the south, the topography transitions toward the Bilberry Swamp and the drainage of Sixteen Falls Cr, reflecting the complex glacial hydrology that shaped this portion of Seneca County.
