2010 Map of Edmeston

About this map

Wharton Creek and Butternut Creek carve paths through this section of Otsego County, defining the valley settlements of Edmeston and Garrattsville. The landscape is a network of small hamlets and rural corners, such as Barrett Corners and Robinson Corners, connected by a web of local roads named for the families who settled the hills, including Gardner Rd and John Hill Rd. This 2010 survey highlights the enduring rural character of the region, where numerous burial grounds like the Butternut Valley Cemetery and Burlington Flats Cemetery serve as focal points for genealogical research. Recreational life is centered around Crystal Lake, where the Crystal Lake Park and Campground marks a significant local landmark. From the heights of Wooley Hill to the basin of Methodist Hollow, the map provides a clear view of the traditional upland farm and creek-bottom settlement patterns of central New York.
