2013 Map of Hartwick

About this map

Hartwick serves as the central hub of this Otsego County landscape, where the waters of Otego Cr and its western branch shape the valley's orientation. The geography is defined by a series of named ridges and summits, including Scotch Hill, Whalen Hill, and Pigeon Hill, which separate the various drainage basins. For family historians, the area is notably dense with small burying grounds such as Snowden Hill Cem, Peck Cem, and the Old United Presbyterian Church Cem. Small hamlets like Oaksville, Cattown, and Wileytown are connected by a network of rural roads that follow the winding paths of Butternut Cr and Oaks Cr. The presence of the Hartwick Reservoir and Cranberry Bog illustrates the diverse wetland and water management features integrated into this rural New York community.
