1956 Map of Scipio Center

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Owasco Lake dominates the eastern edge of this mid-1950s survey, its shoreline dotted with named landings and seasonal camps such as Camp Columbus and Glenwood Beach. The terrain transitions from the water's edge up toward a high agricultural plateau, where small hamlets like Scipio Center, Merrifield, and Sherwood are connected by a network of rural roads such as Silver Street and Black Street. The Lehigh Valley railroad line runs parallel to the lake, serving the various settlements and local industry, including the Owasco Lake Sta. Genealogy researchers will find significant detail in the numerous family and church burial grounds, including the Fleming Cem, Eddy Cem, and St Bernard Cem, which anchor the townships of Fleming, Scipio, and Venice. This document captures the Cayuga County landscape before modern consolidation, preserving the locations of rural schoolhouses and the winding course of Salmon Creek.
