2019 Map of Sempronius

About this map

Lake Como and its surrounding wetlands form a central hub for the small communities and rural roads along the border of Cayuga and Cortland Counties. The landscape is defined by its deep north-south valleys and glaciated terrain, specifically the distinctive Homer Gulf and Kinney Gulf that carve through the southern uplands. Historic milling sites such as Morse Mill and Grout Mill indicate a legacy of water-powered industry along Mill Brook and Grout Brook, while small rural centers like Dresserville and Sempronius maintain their traditional footprints amidst a network of family-named roads. Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial grounds throughout the countryside, ranging from the Lickville Cem in the west to the Hinman Cem near the southern border. The transition from the Bear Swamp Cr headwaters to the south-flowing Fall Cr system illustrates the intricate drainage patterns of this high-elevation agricultural region.
