About this map

The western shore of Cayuga Lake defines this Finger Lakes landscape, where the plateau drops sharply toward the water's edge at Lake Ridge Pt and Little Pt. This 1970 revision captures the agricultural and institutional fabric of the area, anchored by the village of Trumansburg, which serves as a central hub for the surrounding rural townships of Covert and Ulysses. The topography is marked by deeply incised gorges formed by Taughannock Creek and Trumansburg Creek, leading toward the shoreline at Taughannock Falls State Park.

Infrastructure is well-defined by the Lehigh Valley RR corridor and a network of named crossroads like Halls Corners and Six Corners. Genealogists and local historians will find several burial grounds, including St James Cem and Grove Cemetery, alongside specialized sites like the Nun-Dak-Et Airfield near Interlaken. The map also delineates the extensive Hector Land Use Area, showing the managed forestry and public lands at the boundary of Seneca and Schuyler Counties.
