2010 Map of McGraw

About this map

McGraw and the nearby hamlet of Maybury Mills anchor this Central New York landscape, where the terrain transitions from the valley of the Tioughnioga River to the upland plateaus of South Hill and Underwood Hill. The map reveals a persistent rural settlement pattern defined by creek-valley roads and family-named elevations like Hicks Hill and Snyder Hill. Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites, including the McGrawville Rural Cemetery, Maplewood Cemetery, and Turner Cemetery, reflecting the area's long agricultural history. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the rugged topography of Hoxie Gorge stands in contrast to the developed crossroads at Freetown Corners. The hydrology is dominated by the westward-flowing Trout Brook and Smith Brook, which carved the valleys that dictated early road placements such as Clinton St and McGraw North Rd.
