2016 Map of Marathon

About this map

The Tioughnioga River corridor serves as the primary axis for transportation and settlement in this portion of Central New York, where the river valley cuts between high ridges. The village of Marathon occupies a central position along the banks, connected to the southern hamlet of Killawog by both rail and road. The terrain is defined by significant elevations such as Piety Ridge and Steve Russell Hill, which forced early developments and agricultural clearings into the narrow valleys or atop flatter summits.
