About this map

The confluence of the Otioughnioga River and the Chenango River serves as the focal point for this Broome County landscape during the early 1960s. The settlement at Chenango Forks marks this northern junction, where the Erie-Lackawanna railroad follows the western riverbank. The river corridor transitions from the agricultural valley into the recreation-focused Chenango Valley State Park, which includes Lily Lake, Chenango Lake, and the Chenango Golf Course.

Upland terrain is defined by numerous family-named peaks such as Vincent Hill and Thompson Hill, interspersed with small rural hamlets like North Fenton and Kattellville. The southern portion of the map highlights the infrastructure of the Delaware And Hudson railroad as it passes through Port Crane and Osborne. Local genealogy is anchored by sites like Oak Grove Cem and Kattellville Cem, alongside community institutions such as St Rita's Ch and the Chenango Valley Central Sch.
