1956 Map of Maine

About this map

The valley of Nanticoke Creek serves as the primary corridor for settlement in this mid-century survey of the Broome County countryside. The village of Maine sits centrally, marked by its benchmark of 919 feet, while the surrounding landscape is defined by family-named heights such as Pollard Hill, King Hill, and Hardy Hill. The distribution of burial grounds, including the North Maine Cem, Allentown Cem, and Hallenbeck Cem, provides a detailed record of the rural communities and families who established these upland farms. To the south, the terrain transitions toward Union Center and the edge of the Binghamton Country Club. A dense network of local routes like Death Valley Road and Pitgan Hill Road connects small hamlets such as Bradley and Whittemore, tracing the complex drainage of Crocker Creek and Twist Run.
