Mexico lies in eastern Oswego County a few miles inland from Mexico Bay on Lake Ontario, on terrain transitional between the Iroquois lake plain and the rolling drumlin country to the south. Soils across the village and the Route 104 commercial corridor are predominantly Sodus gravelly loam on the drumlin flanks, Arkport fine sandy loam on the intermediate slopes, and Canandaigua silty clay loam and Sun silt loam in the low ground between ridges.
Drainage flows north through the Little Salmon River and Salmon Creek watersheds toward Lake Ontario. Commercial site work in Mexico consistently involves trenching through stony till on the drumlin crests, managing seasonal high water tables on the flats, and stormwater design that accounts for proximity to Lake Ontario's coastal zone. Lake-effect snowfall is heavy here, pushing structural loading on buildings and culvert sizing on any project that sees snowmelt concentration. Bedrock is deep. Frost-susceptible silt loams influence pavement and utility burial depths on most commercial parcels.
