2019 Map of Harford

About this map

Harford and Harford Mills anchor this topographic study of the Southern Tier's high-relief landscape, where the headwaters of the Susquehanna River system begin their descent. The map captures the meeting of three counties—Cortland, Tioga, and Broome—amidst a network of steep ridges and narrow valleys like Griggs Gulf. This area's agricultural and rural heritage is evident in the numerous family-named landmarks and small burial grounds, including the Carpenter Farm Cem and Cornell Lane Cem, which provide valuable location data for genealogists. The drainage patterns are particularly well-defined, showing Virgil Cr flowing north while the First Branch Owego Creek and E Br Owego Cr strike south, illustrating the drainage divide near Virgil Mtn. High-elevation roads like Obrien Hill Rd and Robinson Hollow Rd trace the rugged upland terrain between the valley settlements.
