2016 Map of East Springfield

About this map

The Hyde Hall Covered Bridge stands near the northern tip of Otsego Lake, anchoring a landscape where the headwaters of Cherry Valley Cr and Shadow Brook carve through high terrain. This area of Upstate New York is defined by a network of historic hamlets, including Springfield Four Corners, Middle Village, and East Springfield, which follow the traditional corridors of the Mohawk Valley foothills. Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds like the Springfield Cem and the Old Middlefield Center Cem, reflecting over two centuries of settlement. High peaks such as Shankley Mtn and Mt Wellington rise above the agricultural valleys, while landmarks like the De Ronda Airport and the narrow Dugway Gorge illustrate the intersection of modern transport and complex topography at the borders of Herkimer, Otsego, and Montgomery Counties.
