2010 Map of Erin

About this map

Newtown Creek and Baldwin Creek define the drainage of this rural Chemung County landscape, where small hamlets and family-run agricultural operations persist. The village of Breesport serves as a primary local center, while the eponymous Erin sits to the northeast at the junction of several hill roads. Genealogists will find an unusually dense distribution of burial grounds, including the Breesport Old Baptist Cemetery, Scotchtown Cemetery, and the Old Scotchtown Cemetery, indicating the deep roots of early families in this upland region. The terrain is marked by prominent high points such as Red Chalk Hill and Tuthill Ridge, which separate the valley floors from named farmsteads like Twin D Farm. Transport throughout the area is facilitated by a network of named rural routes, including Parrott Rd and Jackson Creek Rd, which track the area's many small streams and hollows.
