About this map

The Susquehanna River bends sharply through the western edge of this Broome County landscape, framing a series of upland settlements and family-named cemeteries. Small communities such as East Windsor and South Windsor sit along the riverbanks, while the interior is defined by high ridges like Mount Carmel and a network of interior lakes including Sky Lake and Marsh Pond. For genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with burial sites, documenting the Edwards Cem, Alexander Hill Cem, and the Old South Windsor Cem among others.

A significant corridor of transportation and drainage cuts diagonally through the center, where Fly Cr and Fly Pond follow the same pass as the major roadway toward Gulf Summit. This topography, characterized by steep valleys and narrow hollows like Cascade Valley, reflects the late 20th-century rural character of the region where old township roads such as Ostrander Rd and School House Rd still provide the primary access to these isolated hill farms and woodlots.
