About this map

The Susquehanna River defines the corridor of this southern New York landscape, carving a winding path that separates the valley floor from the surrounding uplands. Several historic hamlets such as Nineveh, Bettsburg, and Afton line the river banks, reflecting a settlement pattern tied to water and transport. Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial grounds throughout the area, from the larger Glenwood Cem and Eastside Cem near Afton to smaller family landmarks like Guy Cem and Huggins Cem.

The presence of Nineveh Junction highlights the intersection of local infrastructure, while numerous tributary streams like Bumps Cr, Kelsey Cr, and Cornell Cr drain into the main river valley. Natural water bodies, including Afton Lake and Perch Pond, dot the higher elevations. This map also tracks the transition between Chenango Co and Broome Co, marking the administrative and geographic boundaries of the region.
