About this map

The hamlets of Harford and Harford Mills anchor this 2013 survey of the southern Tier, where the East Branch of Owego Creek and Virgil Cr have carved a series of distinct valleys through the uplands. The landscape remains deeply connected to its agricultural roots, evidenced by the presence of large operations like the Saltsman Dairy Farm and Jon-Lin Farm. The map reveals a high density of small family or local burying grounds, including Harford Cem, Harford Mills Cem, Carpenter Farm Cem, and Cornell Lane Cem, which are invaluable for genealogists tracing early families in the region.

Elevations rise sharply away from the valley floors, reaching a peak at Virgil Mountain in the northeast. This relief is further defined by natural features like Babcock Hollow, Quail Hollow, and Griggs Gulf. The road network, including names like Liddington Hill Rd and Timmerman Hill Rd, reflects the topographical challenges of the area, connecting these isolated upland farms to the central commerce points of the creek valleys.
