    Town of Brutus and Cayuga County Maps

    NoteNOTE
    Editor's Note: The Roudabush Survey street address of 1977 and therefore the Survey copies of Brutus Town and Cayuga County map marked locations are incorrect. The Richard Palmer blog correctly states the street address as 2965. The structure is located at the NE corner of the intersection with Brutus St. and Putnam Rd. as confirmed by Google Maps. The Town of Brutus and Cayuga County maps have been updated.

    Martin Wolfish in his Roudabush Survey corrections and updates document states the updated address as 2977 which is now incorrect. Also noted is a barn with a cobblestone foundation which in current Google Maps street level view has been stuccoed in the years after c. 1990s.
