1904 Map of Greene

About this map

Whitney Point and the neighboring settlements of Triangle and Itaska form the southern hubs of this central New York landscape, situated where the Tioughnioga River meets the local topography. Surveyed just after the turn of the century, the map reveals a rural economy deeply tied to its waterways and valleys. The Delaware Lackawanna and Western RR cuts through the southwestern corner, providing a vital transport link for the surrounding agricultural towns. Small hamlets such as Smithville Flats, Willet, and Upper Lisle are connected by a network of early roads, while the upland areas are dotted with isolated points like Penelope and East German. Along the eastern edge, the Chenango River passes through Greene, showing the town's early development alongside the water. The map's high-relief contouring highlights the distinct drainage basins of Genegantslet Creek and several glacial features, including Cincinnatus Lake and Round Pond.
