About this map

The Susquehanna River winds through Tioga County, anchoring the settlements of Owego and Apalachin in a landscape defined by significant elevation changes and deep creek valleys. In the modern era, the valley floor remains a hub of activity where the Main Street Bridge and a network of arterial roads connect riverside communities like Campville and Crest View Heights. The map reveals a high density of historical burial grounds, including the Riverside Cem and South Owego Cem, which offer significant value for genealogists tracing local families across the southern tier of New York.

Upland features such as Cafferty Hill and Lillie Hill overlook water bodies like Mutton Hill Pond and the Owego Reservoir. The rural character of the southern portion is marked by the presence of South Owego and South Apalachin, where landmarks like the Arbor Glade Cem and various named runs, including Babcock Run and Deerlick Cr, illustrate the drainage patterns of the northern Appalachian plateau.
