About this map

The Tioughnioga River and the Delaware Lackawanna & Western railroad corridor anchor the eastern edge of this late 1940s landscape, where the village of Lisle serves as a primary hub. The northern terrain is defined by the east-west passage of the Catskill Turnpike through Dudley Creek valley, connecting small hamlets like Center Lisle and Manningville. This area of Broome County is characterized by upland ridges such as Owen Hill and Whiting Hill that separate the river valleys.

Further south, the geography shifts toward the drainage of Nanticoke Creek, supporting the settlements of Nanticoke and Glen Aubrey. The map reveals a dense network of local routes, including Popple Road and Beebe Road, which weave between family-named landmarks like Marks Hill and Tiffany Hill. The presence of numerous small cemeteries and the distinct boundary with Tioga County provide valuable data for genealogists tracing ancestral homesteads in Newark Valley and Berkshire.
