About this map

The Unadilla River forms a significant natural boundary in this landscape, winding through the valley where Madison, Oneida, and Otsego counties meet. This area is characterized by high, named ridges such as Mt Hunger, Babcock Hill, and Gorton Hill, which overlook a network of smaller hamlets and rural farmsteads. The settlement of Brookfield sits at the center of the sheet, surrounded by smaller communities like Guideboard and South Brookfield.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local history preserved in the numerous family and community burial grounds dotting the terrain, including the Waterman Cem, Crumb Cem, and Gorton Cem. The landscape is etched with historical roads following the contours of the Beaver Cr and Button Cr valleys, reflecting a long-established agricultural and rural residential pattern. Significant landmarks like Button Falls and the South Brookfield Memorial Park and Cem indicate the enduring social and geographic centers of this upstate New York region.
