About this map

Colgate University anchors the landscape of central Madison County, where the academic grounds overlook Taylor Lake and the village of Hamilton. This geography is defined by a dense network of glacial lakes and reservoirs, including Lake Moraine and the Lebanon Reservoir, which feed the southern-flowing Chenango River. The settlement pattern follows these valleys, connecting the historic villages of Eaton, Randallsville, and Poolville via a web of rural roads such as Canal Rd and Hamilton Hill Rd.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites throughout the townships, from the Eaton Village Cem in the northwest to the Poolville Rural Cem in the southeast. Significant landmarks like the Hamilton Municipal Airport and Bonney Hill stand alongside smaller hamlets like Middleport and Lebanon Center, illustrating a region that maintains its traditional agricultural character even as it serves as a prominent educational center.
