About this map

Cayuga Lake forms the eastern boundary of this western New York landscape, where the terrain transitions from the shoreline up to the forested heights of the Finger Lakes National Forest. The village of Trumansburg serves as a central hub, surrounded by smaller settlements and historic rural hamlets like Podunk, Waterburg, and Halseyville. The drainage pattern is defined by several waterways carving toward the lake, including Trumansburg Creek and Taughannock Creek, which have historically influenced the settlement and road patterns of the region.

Local history and genealogy researchers will find several significant burial sites across the landscape, including Old Covert Cem and Jones Cem. The map illustrates a well-developed network of county roads and local routes, such as Main St and Searsburg Rd, which connect the lakeside communities of Cold Springs and Bergen Beach to the interior agricultural and forest lands. The intersection of Seneca, Tompkins, and Schuyler counties within this area highlights its role as a jurisdictional crossroads.
