About this map

The Susquehanna River carves a deep valley through the southern tier of New York, defining the layout of Owego and Apalachin in the late 1960s. This survey records the riverside character of the region, featuring Hiawatha Island and the neighboring The Hickories Park. The industrial and transit foundations of the area are evident in the Erie-Lackawanna rail lines that hug the riverbanks, supporting local growth in communities like Campville and Crest View Heights.

Away from the water, the terrain rises into prominent high points such as Bodle Hill and Jewett Hill. Genealogists and local historians can find numerous community landmarks including St Margaret Mary Ch, Broadway Cem, and rural schoolhouses like Watson Sch. The southern portion of the sheet reaches the New York Pennsylvania border, illustrating the transition from the river valley to the more isolated settlements of South Owego and South Apalachin.
