About this map

Wharton Creek and Butternut Creek carve their paths through these Otsego County hills, shaping a landscape of high summits like Klock Hill and Rice Hill interspersed with narrow, farmed hollows. The settlement pattern during the 1940s is defined by crossroads hamlets such as Edmeston and Burlington Flats, connected by winding roads that follow the natural topography.

Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous burial grounds recorded, including the Union Cem, Taylor Hill Cem, and the Quaker Cem near Woolley. The rural social fabric is further evidenced by the distribution of local landmarks like School No 7 and the Gross Hill Sch, which served families across Burlington and Pittsfield. Mapping from the Army Map Service reveals the era's land use, from the shores of Crystal Lake to the secluded reaches of Methodist Hollow.
