1912 Map of Hartwick

USGS Topo · Published 1944

About this map

Southern New York Electric Railway tracks cut through the eastern hills of Otsego County, following the valley floors past South Hartwick and Mt. Vision. This early 20th-century landscape is defined by a dense network of upland farms and small valley settlements connected by winding roads that predate the modern highway system. The terrain is deeply etched by the Butternut Creek and Otego Creek drainages, which historically powered the local mills and influenced the placement of towns like Garrattsville and Laurens. From the northern reaches of Burlington Flats to the southern waters of Wilber Lake, the map captures the transition from isolated agricultural communities to a region increasingly linked by electric rail. Small natural features like Cranberry Bog and Hurd Lake dot the ridges, providing a detailed view of the rural Otsego landscape before significant mid-century changes.
