2013 Map of Barton

About this map

The Susquehanna River defines the southern reach of this Tioga County landscape, winding past the village of Barton and the community of Smithboro. The river valley acts as a corridor for settlement and transit, while the northern terrain rises into distinct high points like Prospect Hill, Oak Hill, and Poverty Knob. This 2013 survey illustrates a rural landscape where many family-named cemeteries and small churches remain central to the geography. Genealogists will find a concentration of burial grounds including N Barton Cem, Prospect Hill Cem, and the Smithboro Cem. The map captures the interface between modern infrastructure, such as the Nichols Southbound Rest Area, and the enduring natural features of the river basin like Hoopers Valley Island and various tributaries including Ellis Cr and Pipe Cr.
