About this map

The Susquehanna River winds through this region of Broome County, anchoring a series of small riverside hamlets and historic crossroads. In Afton, the village layout is defined by the proximity of Afton Lake and the confluence of Bumps Cr and Kelsey Cr. The map reveals a high density of burial grounds, such as Baptist Cem and Eastside Cem, reflecting the deep genealogical roots of these communities. Moving downstream, the landscape transitions to the clusters of Nineveh and Nineveh Junction, where the river's path is closely followed by modern transportation corridors.

Rural character is preserved in the southern reaches, where the terrain rises toward Vallonia Springs and the secluded Perch Pond. This 2013 survey provides a detailed look at family-named landmarks and local sites like Harpur Cem and Huggins Cem. The geography is defined by narrow creek valleys, including Cornell Cr and Belden Brook, which separate the various settlements of Center Village, Doraville, and Harpursville.
