The presentation will include information about the military tract, a look at what it was like to be a surveyor on Backbone Ridge (the area that runs between Seneca and Cayuga Lakes) in 1790, and an explanation of the online map and its creation. The New Military Tract is a group of 28 towns in central New York State that were laid out and then surveyed into one -hundred 600-acre lots from 1789-91. The military lots were used to compensate New York soldiers for their service during the Revolutionary War. The lots were awarded by random ballots, one lot for each private and multiple lots for officers. There were various set -asides and reservations. The towns of Ovid, Hector and Ulysses are a part of the military tract. The surveyors' journals for these lots have been transcribed and their notes have been entered on a digital map by a group of volunteers. The BRHG received generous support from the Nelson B. Delavan Foundation for this project. This interactive map will allow you to follow the original survey lot lines of the towns encompassing the Backbone Ridge, located between Seneca and Cayuga Lakes. Eventually you will have access to views of the original manuscript, the transcription of each page and other information. The current edition of the map shows the original ballotee—the soldier who was awarded the lot — and identifies the person who settled the lot. It also provides the surveyors' descriptions of the forest landscape along the survey lines and photos of the area described. STUDENTS SOUGHT FOR COUNTY ENVIRONMENTAL COUNCIL: The Tompkins Countv Environmental Management Council (EMC), is paving the way for two new student seats on our council. The Tompkins County Environmental Management Council (EMC) has been the Legislature's official citizen advisory board on local environmental issues since 1971.The purpose of the EMC is to identify problems, propose priorities, and promote coordination of activities in the development and management of our natural resources and to provide a public forum for the discussion and resolution of these problems and completion of proposed projects. The student seats will be full voting seats with a Sept -Sept term and can reapply each year. The seats are for two (2) high school or college student members who are county residents and at least 16 years of age. The EMC meets monthly on the 2nd Thursday of each month, primarily by Zoom at 4:00-5:30 PM. Reach out to the EMC Chair - Cait Darfler (ckdarfler(@gmail.com) with any questions. The EMCs next meeting is happening on Sept 12 at 4PM by Zoom. Email Cait to get the link. RABIES VACCINATION CLINIC- 9/14: Rabies is a fatal disease but is preventable by vaccination.
