1969 Map of Maine

About this map

Nanticoke Creek serves as the central artery for this rural New York landscape, carving a valley that defines the settlement patterns of Maine and Union Center. In the late 1960s, this area reflects a classic Southern Tier mix of agricultural uplands and emerging suburban growth. The valley floor is dotted with community centers like the Maine Memorial Sch and Holy Rosary Ch, while the surrounding ridges are marked by family-named landmarks such as Pollard Hill and Hardy Hill. The northern reach is dominated by the Ketchumville State Forest, providing a stark contrast to the denser residential clusters appearing near Endwell in the south. Local genealogy is well-preserved through numerous burial grounds including Nanticoke Valley Cem and Mountown Cem, which remain tucked along winding corridors like Cornell Hollow Road.
