About this map

Chenango Forks sits at the strategic confluence of the Otioughnioga River and the Chenango River, serving as a vital rail hub in the mid-1930s. The landscape is defined by the parallel tracks of the Delaware Lackawanna and Western RR and the Delaware and Hudson RR which follow the river valleys, connecting settlements like Port Crane and Chenango Bridge.

Evidence of Great Depression-era conservation efforts is prominent, notably the C C C Camp and a Reforestation Nursery situated near Chenango Valley State Park. The uplands are dotted with rural infrastructure, including numerous district schools such as Barlow Sch and Pleasant Hill Sch, and small communities like Sanitaria Springs and West Colesville. This survey preserves the exact locations of local landmarks from Pigeon Hill to the Rattleville Cem before modern highway developments altered the rural character of Broome County.
