About this map

The Tioughnioga River and Chenango River converge at the northern edge of this quadrangle, shaping the valley where the settlement of Chenango Forks took root. This landscape is defined by the high ground of Pigeon Hill and Hunt Hill, which separate the river valleys from the smaller drainages of Page Brook and Ballyhack Cr. The river corridor serves as a primary transportation and recreation artery, containing the Chenango Valley State Park and landmarks like the Chenango Bridge Airport.

Further south, the landscape transitions toward Port Crane and Sanitaria Springs, where the terrain is marked by numerous family and community burial grounds including Kattelville Cem, Toombs Cem, and the Collins-Hall Cem. The presence of Chenango Lake and Lily Lake within the state park suggests a region that transitioned from its early river-based economy into a destination for conservation and local aviation during the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.
