2016 Map of Erin

About this map

Breesport and Erin anchor this Chemung County landscape, where the terrain is defined by a series of prominent ridges and high points. Elevation changes are marked by named summits such as Red Chalk Hill, Mallory Hill, and Laurel Hill, which rise above the valleys of Jackson Creek and Newtown Creek. The area is notably dense with small family and community burial grounds, including the Ennis Cem in the northeast corner near the Schuyler Co Chemung Co line, and the Breesport Old Baptist Cem situated near the village center. This concentration of cemeteries, alongside Van Duzer Cem and Scotchtown Cem, provides significant points of interest for genealogists tracking early settlers in the Southern Tier. The network of rural roads like Walker Hill Rd and Haskins Rd connects these upland settlements to the creek-side communities.
