About this map

Butternut Creek meanders through the heart of the landscape, defining the rural character of this region of Otsego County. The settlement of Gilbertsville stands as a primary focal point, surrounded by a network of smaller named crossroads and family-held corners like Copes Corner, Frone Corner, and Heslops Corner. The map captures an area defined by long-established agricultural boundaries and tributary waters such as Dunderberg Creek and Cahoon Creek, illustrating how the early road system followed the contours of the valley floor.

Genealogists will find significant value in the detailed identification of local burial grounds, including Brookside Cemetery, Hollis Cemetery, and the Butternut Valley Cemetery. The southern portion of the sheet reveals more dispersed settlements like Unadilla Center and Sand Hill, connected by historic paths such as Ideuma Rd and Wilbur Hill Rd. This documentation preserves the legacy of a landscape where the names of local residents, such as those at Youmans Corner and Mallory Corner, are permanently etched into the geographic record.
