About this map

The W Br Tioughnioga River and its accompanying valley corridor define the settlement pattern of this Cortland County region. At the southern end, the village of Homer serves as a primary hub, while the terrain to the north rises toward summits like Mount Toppin and East Hill. The landscape is dotted with several named agricultural operations, including Westan Farms, New Hope View Farm, and Wineland Farm, indicating the persistent importance of dairy and crop farming in the valley.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the township, from the centrally located Glenwood Cem to smaller neighborhood yards like the Sessions Hill Neighborhood Cem and the Seven Day Baptist Cem. The presence of several distinct hamlets such as East Scott, Preble, and Little York—the latter situated near Upper Little York Lake—reveals a historic network of small communities that once functioned as independent social and economic centers along the winding river branches.
