1943 Map of Sempronius

About this map

Lake Como and the steep glacial terrain of Cayuga County define this 1943 survey, conducted by the Tennessee Valley Authority for the War Department. The landscape is marked by several historic crossroads and small milling centers, most notably Morse Mill and Grout Mill, which reflect the area's early industrial reliance on local water power from Dresserville Creek and Mill Brook. The settlement pattern is largely agricultural, centered around rural school districts such as School No 5 and School No 1, and family-named points like Murphy Corners and Wards Corners.
