About this map

Newtown Creek and its various tributaries define the valley-and-ridge landscape of this Chemung County area, where small settlements like Erin and Breesport are centers of community life. The map is particularly notable for its dense concentration of burial sites, including the Old Baptist Cem, Scotchtown Cem, and Fairview Cem, which offer significant value for genealogists tracing local families. These cemeteries are often located on the lower slopes of the region's prominent heights, such as Langdon Hill and Laurel Hill.

Secondary roads and rural routes connect the valleys, tracing paths through Wildcat Hollow and across the long spine of Tuthill Ridge. The drainage patterns of Jackson Creek and Baldwin Creek suggest a terrain traditionally used for timber and small-scale agriculture. Landmarks like Matejka Field near the Schuyler County line provide localized points of interest within this contemporary survey of New York's southern tier.
