The area consists of Cayuga, Chemung, Cortland, Livingston, Monroe, Onondaga, Ontario, Schuyler, Seneca, Steuben, Tioga, Tompkins, Wayne, and Yates Counties. (The National Park Service administers National Heritage Areas, which Congress designates as places where natural, cultural, and historic resources come together to form a nationally important landscape.)
