About this map

The confluence of the Tioughnioga River and the Chenango River serves as the focal point for this late 1960s survey, marking the primary transportation and settlement corridor between Barker and Chenango. The landscape is dominated by the sprawling Chenango Valley State Park, which encompasses Lily Lake and Chenango Lake, alongside numerous campgrounds and trailer parks that underscore the area's mid-century recreational character.

Infrastructure is well-defined by the convergence of the Erie-Lackawanna and Delaware and Hudson railroads near Port Crane and Chenango Bridge. Local history is preserved through markers like St Ritas Ch and Toombs Cem, while industry is represented by small-scale operations such as Stratton Mill and several gravel pits. The survey also captures aviation history at the Chenango Bridge Landing Field, situated just north of the growing suburban settlement at Chenango Bridge.
