2010 Map of Sheldrake

About this map

Cayuga Lake dominates this landscape, serving as the central divide between the agricultural and viticultural lands of Seneca and Cayuga counties. The eastern and western shores are characterized by numerous points and landings, including Sheldrake Point and Stony Point, where small settlements and shoreline access points like Kidders and Interlaken Beach have long served the lakeside community. The local economy is visibly shaped by the Finger Lakes climate, with extensive viticulture appearing through Sheldrake Point Winery, Cayuga Ridge Estate Winery, and Lucas Vineyards And Winery. Inland, the terrain is marked by deep cuts such as Beard Gully and Carter Gully, while genealogy interests are supported by clearly marked burial grounds like the Quaker Cemetery and Mosher Cemetery. Small hamlets and crossroads, such as Aurora and King Ferry Station, anchor the rural road network connecting these upland farms to the water.
