About this map

Binghamton and Johnson City anchor the southern reaches of this Broome County landscape, where the Chenango River flows toward its confluence. The terrain is defined by a series of north-south valleys carved by waterways like Little Choconut Cr, Glen Castle Cr, and Castle Cr, creating a ridge-and-valley pattern that has dictated local development. Higher elevations are marked by many family-named cemeteries and landmarks, including Dimmick Hill Cem and Sacred Heart Cem, which serve as vital points of reference for local genealogy.

Modern infrastructure prominently intersects with older rural patterns, most notably at the Greater Binghamton Airport/Edwin A Link Field and the campus of SUNY Broome Community College. Smaller historical hamlets such as New Ireland, West Chenango, and Choconut Center remain connected by a network of winding roads like Wilson Hill Rd and Finch Hollow. The map also illustrates the recreational spaces of the river corridor, such as Otsiningo Park, providing a detailed look at the transition from urban centers to the surrounding highlands.
