About this map

Sugar Hill and Townsend anchor the high ground in this area of the Southern Tier, where the landscape is defined by the steep-sided valleys of Post Cr and Townsend Cr. The map reveals a deeply rooted rural community, marked by a high density of small family and local burial grounds including Sugar Hill Cem, Cooley Cem, and Quigley Cem near Chambers.

Modern land use intersects with this traditional agricultural layout, most notably at the Watkins Glen Intl Race Track which sits between Baker Hill and Wedgewood. The terrain drops sharply toward the northeast corner into the famous chasm of Watkins Glen. Transportation history is evident in the transition from quiet rural routes like Donovan Hill Rd to the presence of the Tilden Airport, showing how the geography of Schuyler County has adapted to both recreation and local industry.
