About this map

Agricultural lands and rural infrastructure define this 1960 topographic study of southern Hancock County. The landscape is structured around the growing community of Arlington and the smaller settlement of Jenera, both tied to the New York Central railroad corridor. The area's development is characterized by a dense network of family and community landmarks, including several schools and churches like Salem Ch and St Pauls Ch.

Drainage through the township is managed by Eagle Creek and Tiderishi Creek, which cut through the gridded section lines. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of burial grounds across the townships, from the large Arlington Cem to smaller sites like Bishop Cem and Keller Cem. The map also documents active petroleum extraction with numerous Oil Well and Gas Well sites scattered north of the Townhall.
