About this map

Otsego Lake and the northern reaches of Glimmerglass State Park anchor the southwestern corner of this survey, where the historic Hyde Hall Covered Bridge stands near the water's edge. The landscape is a complex arrangement of high ridges and narrow valleys, defined by prominent elevations such as Prospect Hill and Shankley Mtn. The settlement pattern follows these contours, with hamlets like East Springfield and Springfield Four Corners established at key road junctions.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites throughout the region, including the Middle Village Cem and the remote Willse Hill Cem near the northern boundary with Herkimer and Montgomery Counties. The drainage network is particularly detailed, tracing the headwaters of Shadow Brook and Cherry Valley Cr, which carve through the terrain at Dugway Gorge. This layout reflects an era of established rural communities connected by a network of winding county roads.
