2019 Map of Holmesville

About this map

Chenango Lake and the winding course of the Unadilla River anchor this central New York landscape, which defines the eastern border of Chenango County. The map details a series of hamlets and rural neighborhoods that have persisted across generations, including Holmesville, Amblerville, and South New Berlin. These small hubs are connected by a network of local roads that follow the contours of the upland terrain, where Flagpole Hill and West Hill overlook several tributary streams like Great Brook and Whapanaka Brook. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the township, ranging from larger grounds like Riverside Cem to smaller family-named locations such as King Settlement Cem, Bloom Cem, and Edmonds Cem. The presence of the Ditch Road Bridge at the river crossing near Holmesville underscores the importance of historically significant transit points between the hills and the valley floor.
