About this map

Otsego Lake serves as the focal point of this Otsego County landscape, where the Susquehanna River begins its long journey south. The village of Cooperstown is centered at the foot of the lake, showing a dense street grid including Main St and Chestnut St, alongside the Otsego County Office Building. The surrounding hillsides are dotted with historic burial grounds and small settlements that speak to the area's deep nineteenth-century roots, such as Pail Shop Corners and Toddsville.

Tracing the waterways like Fly Creek and Oaks Creek reveals the historic industrial and agricultural layout of the region. Numerous family and community cemeteries, including the Fly Creek Presbyterian Cem and Lynes Cem, are preserved here. From the heights of Cornish Hill to the banks of Cherry Valley Creek, the map provides a contemporary view of a region defined by its colonial-era legacy and the enduring presence of the Hartwick Seminary community.
