About this map

Chenango Forks sits at the northern confluence where the Tioughnioga River joins the Chenango River, marking a landscape defined by significant watercourse shifts and high-relief terrain. The river valley is anchored by Chenango Valley State Park and Lily Lake, while the surrounding hills are dotted with family-named cemeteries that provide a record of early local settlement, including Toombs Cem, Oak Grove Cem, and Collins-Hall Cem.

The southern portion of this region is characterized by a network of smaller communities such as Port Crane, Sanitaria Springs, and West Colesville. These settlements are linked by a complex of named creeks—Ballyhack Creek, Osborne Creek, and Phelps Creek—which cut through the upland ridges like Pigeon Hill and Hunt Hill. The map also details the aviation footprint of the Chenango Bridge Airport near the modern residential expansions at Chenango Bridge.
