2013 Map of Beaver Dams

About this map

Watkins Glen International sits prominently on the ridge above Townsend, defining the modern landscape of this portion of Schuyler County. The settlement patterns follow the creek valleys, with Beaver Dams and Chambers situated along the path of Post Cr, while Moreland lies further east. Genealogists can find numerous burial grounds scattered across the terrain, including Sugar Hill Cem, Townsend Cem, and the Quigley Cem near the southern border. The map details a network of rural routes and family-named roads such as Vanzandt Hollow Rd and Meads Hill Rd, reflecting a landscape deeply rooted in its geographic hollows and hills. Aviation history is represented by Tilden Airport near Wedgewood, while natural features like Shequaga Cr and Hemlock Run drain the elevated heights of Baker Hill and Watkins Hill.
