About this map

Owasco Lake and its western shoreline define this landscape in the Finger Lakes region, where several points like Plunkett Point and Ensenore Point extend into the water. The upland terrain is a patchwork of agricultural land and small hamlets, notably Scipio Center, Merrifield, and Sherwood. Local history is deeply embedded in the soil, evidenced by over a dozen burial sites including the Saint Bernard's Old Catholic Cem and family plots like the Babcock Family Cem and Manchester Family Cem.

Watercourses such as Big Salmon Creek and Yawger Creek drain the western slopes, while the eastern edge follows the Owasco River and the lakefront. Transportation patterns are established by town lines, including the Fleming Scipio Townline Rd, which organizes the rural grid. This map documents a quiet, enduring landscape where small settlements like Scipioville and Mapleton remain centered around these vital crossroads and family landmarks.
