About this map

Hartwick serves as the central hub of this Otsego County landscape, where the headwaters of Otego Creek and Oaks Creek carve distinct valleys through the high ground. The area is characterized by numerous family-named peaks and ridges, including Pigeon Hill, Tunncliff Hill, and Whalen Hill, which dictate the winding paths of rural connectors like Wileytown Rd and Dana Clark Rd. Smaller clusters like Oaksville, Fly Creek, and the curiously named Cattown appear in the northeast, illustrating the historic settlement patterns of upstate New York.

Local history is deeply embedded in the many burial grounds and small hamlets scattered across the terrain. From the Old United Presbyterian Church Cem in the west to Field Crossing and Pleasant Valley in the east, the map preserves the names of early communities. The Hartwick Reservoir and numerous brooks like Clark Brook and Chase Creek provide a clear view of the water system that has long supported these agricultural and residential valleys.
