2016 Map of Cincinnatus

About this map

The Otselic River valley serves as the primary corridor for settlement and transit through this portion of Central New York, anchoring the communities of Cincinnatus and Lower Cincinnatus. The terrain is defined by significant elevation changes, with Mt Roderick and Dutch Hill overlooking a network of tributary streams including Gee Brook and Mead Brook. This 2016 survey documents the enduring rural character of the region, where numerous family and community burial grounds like the Holland Cem, Loope Cem, and Holmes Cem are distributed across the hillsides, providing valuable touchstones for local genealogical research. Outdoor recreation and conservation are represented by the presence of the N Country National Scenic Trail, which traverses the northwestern uplands near Mt Roderick. The map clearly delineates the Cortland Co and Chenango Co line as it follows the eastern edge of the river valley near Hydeville.
