About this map

McGraw and the nearby hamlet of Solon anchor this 2016 study of Cortland County, where the landscape transitions from concentrated village life to the high, ridge-bound terrain of S Hill and Underwood Hill. The village of McGraw is defined by its detailed street grid including Elm St and W Academy St, while the surrounding rural landscape is dotted with ancestral markers like McGrawville Rural Cem and Atwood Cem.

Waterways like Trout Brook and the Tioughnioga River carve paths through the topography, reflecting a historical reliance on these corridors for settlement and industry, evidenced by the named locations of Maybury Mills and Blodgett Mills. Modern preservation efforts are visible in the winding path of the N Country National Scenic Trail as it traverses Snyder Hill and passes through the dramatic relief of Hoxie Gorge. This contemporary survey provides a clear view of how early 19th-century settlement patterns persist within the modern road network.
