About this map

The W Br Tioughnioga River carves a deep valley through the glaciated terrain of central New York, anchoring the village of Homer at its southern reach. This landscape is defined by its steep drumlins and hills, such as Mt Toppin and Brake Hill, which overlook a series of glacial lakes including Green Lake and Upper Little York Lake. The rural character of the region is preserved through numerous family and neighborhood burial grounds, such as Gillett Cem in East Scott and the Sessions Hill Neighborhood Cem to the east.

Settlement patterns follow the valley floors, with small hamlets like Preble, Scott, and the evocatively named Slab City linked by a network of local roads and the Interstate 81 corridor. For genealogists and local historians, the map provides precise locations for many small cemeteries, including Seven Day Baptist Cem and Brook Cem, which stand as markers of the area's early agricultural and religious development.
