2010 Map of Afton

About this map

The Susquehanna River dictates the layout of the valley as it winds through several historic hamlets and riverfront settlements. Modern transit lines follow the ancient watercourse, passing through Afton, Nineveh, and Center Village. The rural landscape is densely dotted with genealogical points of interest, including the Baptist Cemetery, Glenwood Cemetery, and Eastside Cemetery near the northern bend of the river. To the south, family names persist in landmarks like Huggins Cemetery and the settlement of Howes. Significant upland features such as Perch Pond and Afton Lake provide a counterpoint to the river valley, while the presence of Nineveh Junction reflects the intersection of transportation corridors that have long defined this portion of Broome County. Local history is further preserved in smaller concentrations like Vallonia Springs and Doraville, which sit away from the main river corridor along the winding hill roads.
