About this map

The Tioughnioga River corridor and its surrounding highlands define this portion of Cortland County, where 19th-century mill sites and rural hamlets remain visible markers of the local economy. The village of McGraw serves as a primary hub, while smaller named settlements like Maybury Mills and Blodgett Mills reflect the early industrial reliance on water power from Trout Brook and other regional streams.

Genealogists can find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, including McGrawville Rural Cem, Maplewood Cem, and the remote Atwood Cem. The landscape is characterized by prominent elevations such as Hicks Hill and Snyder Hill, intersected by the dramatic Hoxie Gorge. From the crossroads at Freetown Corners to the residential streets of McGraw, the map documents the persistent layout of a traditional New York dairy and agricultural landscape through the early 21st century.
