2019 Map of Erin

About this map

Breesport and Erin anchor this Chemung County landscape, where the rural character of New York's Southern Tier remains defined by its deep creek valleys and high ridges. The map reveals a high density of small family and community burial grounds, such as Van Duzer Cem and Hollenbeck Cem, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research in this historically agricultural region. These sites are scattered across the uplands of Red Chalk Hill and Mallory Hill, overlooking the waters of Newtown Creek and Jackson Creek. The drainage patterns of Latta Brook and Baldwin Cr carve through the southern terrain near Tuthill Ridge, illustrating the challenging topography that dictated the winding paths of roads like Breesport Rd and Monkey Run Rd.
