2013 Map of Sempronius

About this map

Sempronius and its surrounding hamlets are defined by the deep glacial incisions of the Finger Lakes region, particularly the distinct ravines of Scott Gulf and Sherman Gulf. Early industry here relied on the steady descent of local waterways, as evidenced by Morse Mill along Dresserville Cr and Grout Mill situated to the northeast. This 2013 survey illustrates a landscape primarily shaped by rural dairy farming and small crossroads settlements, including Dresserville and Como. For genealogists, the map provides precise locations for numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Lickville Cem and Wilcox Cem, many of which sit atop the high ridges. The hydrology of the area is centralized around Lake Como, which feeds the Lake Como Outlet and Fall Cr, while the northern portion is dominated by the complex drainage patterns of Mill Brook and Bear Swamp Cr.
