Cuylerville’s center stands about 620 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 550 ft to 930 ft, a difference of 380 ft: rolling country. The highest named summit within 15 miles is Marrowback Hill, about 2,000 ft, 14 miles east-southeast.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Moscow Formation (shale), from the Middle Devonian, 384 to 388 million years old.
The section below crosses 9 rock units mapped at the surface.
Heights every 0.1 mile from the Copernicus GLO-90 surface model; vertical exaggeration about 18×. The colored band under the surface is the rock the state geologic map shows at the surface, not a picture of what lies beneath.

From the USGS State Geologic Map Compilation (Horton and others, 2017), the states’ geologic maps joined at a common scale. 3 smaller units along the line are not listed.

A raindrop that lands in Cuylerville reaches Lake Ontario by way of Beards Creek and the Genesee: about 60 river miles. From the lake it goes down the St. Lawrence to the Atlantic.
Traced down the USGS NHDPlus V2.1 river network from the Census center point of Cuylerville; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
Cuylerville has a warm-summer humid continental climate. Summer afternoons average 81° in July; winter nights fall to about 15° in January. About 33 inches of rain fall in a normal year.
On November 14 Cuylerville normally reaches 49° and falls to 32°. The record high is 73°, in 2011; the record low 15°, in 2019. The most rain on this date, 0.67 in, fell in 1972.
Normals 1991–2020 and records since 1893 at Mount Morris 2 W, 4 miles south-southwest, 260 ft higher. NOAA, through RCC-ACIS.
