About this map

Fall Creek and Owasco Inlet define the drainage of this central New York landscape, which is characterized by a dense network of nineteenth-century hamlets and family-named crossroads. The village of Groton serves as the primary hub, while smaller clusters like Freeville, McLean, and Malloryville reveal the area's agricultural and small-scale industrial history. Of particular interest to local historians is the site of Red Mills along Mud Creek, a reminder of the water-powered economy that once drove local commerce.

The map's detail provides a window into the region's genealogy, documenting numerous burial grounds including Groton Cemetery, Saint Patricks Cemetery, and the Peruville Cemetery. Cultural and vocational landmarks are prominent, from the Mud Schoolhouse Corners to the modern Cortland National Fish Hatchery near Beaver Creek. Agricultural operations such as Sugar Bush Farms and Valhalla Farm illustrate the continued importance of the land's yield in the early twenty-first century.
