About this map

Owasco Lake dominates the eastern edge of this landscape, its shoreline defined by numerous points including Plunckett Point and Peterson Point. The interior reveals a high density of ancestral burial grounds, such as the Manchester Family Cemetery, Arnold-Comstock Cemetery, and Saint Bernard's Old Catholic Cemetery, reflecting a deep history of family settlement in Cayuga County. The agricultural grid is punctuated by small crossroads and stations, from Scipio Center to Owasco Lake Station.

Transport and commerce are concentrated along the north-south axis of State Hwy 34 Bus, linking Fleming to Sherwood. Waterways like Crane Brook and Big Salmon Creek drain the surrounding farmland, while specialized sites like Killian Airfield and Camp Columbus show the diversification of land use by the early 21st century. The map preserves the specific locations of several rural hamlets, including Merrifield, Mapleton, and Bolts Corners, offering a clear view of the area's enduring community structure.
