About this map

Whitney Point and the village of Greene anchor this 1904 survey, documenting a region defined by its prominent river valleys and agricultural hamlets. The landscape is characterized by the convergence of major waterways, including the Chenango River, the Otselic River, and the Tioughnioga River. Along these banks, the Delaware Lackawanna and Western RR tracks the river courses, connecting settlements like Itaska and Barker to larger regional hubs.

Smaller upland communities such as Smithville Flats, Texas Valley, and German are linked by a network of winding roads through the hills of Chenango Co. and Broome Co. Named water features like Cincinnatus Lake, Echo Lake, and Genegantslet Creek provide a detailed look at the local drainage patterns. For the genealogist, the map identifies specific locations for numerous small hamlets such as Penelope, Hydeville, and Lakeville as they existed at the start of the 20th century.
