Whether you're eyeing acreage outside Junius or settling a question about your own lot in Romulus, the Seneca County plat map is the first stop.
We'll start with the official link, then cover Romulus and the other towns, land types, property lines and records.
Opening the Seneca County plat map
Open the Seneca County ArcGIS parcel map (built on an Esri ArcGIS web map); it is the county's own published map. For land around Fayette with no street number, zoom to the road and click the tract to open its record. Our Seneca County listing carries the same link plus neighboring maps.

The lay of the land in Seneca County
Besides Waterloo, which serves as the county seat, the map covers Covert, Fayette, Junius, and Lodi. The county's land area is about 324 square miles, and the Census Bureau estimated 32,349 residents there in 2023. Neighborhood lots cluster near Romulus, while the countryside toward Dublin still holds larger parcels. Cayuga Lake and Seneca Lake are part of the Seneca County landscape, and creek or shoreline tracts are common there. Finger Lakes National Forest, Sampson State Park, and Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge are a big draw, and the private tracts that border public land are often the first ones hunters and cabin buyers ask about.
The Seneca County economy in brief
Of the 698 establishments the Census Bureau counted in Seneca County for 2022, the biggest groups were retail trade, accommodation and food services, and other services. The sectors that stand out against the national mix are beverage and tobacco manufacturing, museums, historical sites and parks, and machinery manufacturing. Recreation money shows up in the Seneca County land market as demand for cabin sites and small getaway parcels. If you're comparing land near Lodi with land near Waterloo, the local job base is part of the price story.
How accurate are Seneca County, NY property lines?
On rural tracts near Dublin, the parcel lines can drift from the fences on the ground, sometimes by more than a few feet. Rural tracts near Fayette follow metes-and-bounds calls, so their shapes on the map track creeks, roads and old fences. For a fence, an addition or a dispute in Seneca County, budget for a licensed survey; it's the answer a court or a lender will accept.
Acreage and vacant lot search
Try this the next time you're looking for land near Lodi:
- Turn on the photo basemap and work outward from Fayette one road at a time, flagging parcels with no buildings.
- Open the record for each empty tract near Fayette and note whether the owner's mailing address is outside Seneca County.
- Confirm legal access. In Seneca County, as anywhere, a parcel with no road frontage depends on an easement.
- Line up the assessed land values of a few neighboring tracts near Lodi to sanity-check an asking price.
- Rural lots near Dublin may need a septic permit and a well, so ask before you commit.
For a tract near Covert with no road frontage, see how to tell if land is landlocked.
Behind the map: land records in Seneca County
The map near Romulus is only as good as the deeds behind it, and those are kept in the county's recording office. The office title varies by state (register of deeds, recorder, county clerk or clerk of court), so check the Seneca County government website for the right one. For subdivision lots in Covert, the plat book and page on the record leads straight to the recorded plat.
