1903 Map of Harford

About this map

The Tioughnioga River corridor serves as a primary artery for industry and transport at the turn of the century, carrying the Delaware Lackawanna and Western railroad through the settlements of Marathon and Killawog. Further west, the Lehigh Valley (Auburn Division) follows the valley floor of the West Branch Owego Creek, connecting Harford and Richford. This mapping of the Southern Tier reflects a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and high ridges, where agriculture and small hamlets are concentrated in the narrow drainage basins.
