2023 Map of Marathon

About this map

The Tioughnioga River corridor serves as the primary artery for settlement and transport through this portion of Central New York. Concentrated along the river banks are the village of Marathon and the hamlet of Killawog, both positioned where major tributaries like Hunts Creek and Jennings Creek meet the valley floor. The map documents a deeply layered landscape of local heritage, preserving the locations of numerous family and community burial grounds including the Marathon Village Cem and the Snyder Hill Cem. Away from the river valley, the terrain transitions into upland reaches where smaller communities like Hunts Corners and East Virgil are connected by a network of rural roads such as Steve Russell Hill Rd and Irish Hill Rd. The inclusion of Cochran Airport and the crossing of the Cortland Co Broome Co line provide modern spatial context to these long-established settlements.
