2013 Map of Scipio Center

About this map

Owasco Lake dominates the eastern boundary of this landscape, its western shoreline marked by a dense string of seasonal and permanent settlements including Glenwood Beach, Elmwood, and Wyckoff. The interior of Cayuga County is defined by agricultural lands and small crossroads communities like Scipio Center and Merrifield. Numerous family and community burial grounds, such as the Arnold Comstock Cem and Saint Bernard's Old Catholic Cem, are scattered across the terrain, reflecting generations of local lineage. The drainage of Yawger Cr and Crane Brook cuts through the fields, illustrating the local hydrology that shaped early settlement patterns. Between the lakefront at Ensenore and the rural stretches of Sherwood, this map documents the persistent layout of town lines and rural routes like the Fleming Scipio Town Line Rd in the early 21st century.
