About this map

McGraw serves as the primary population center in this part of Cortland County, situated along the banks of Trout Brook. The village's historical footprint is anchored by McGraw Rural Cem, while the surrounding landscape transitions into the hills of Hicks Hill and South Hill. Further east, the small settlement of Solon sits near the confluence of Trout Brook and Pritchard Brook, reflecting the region's reliance on these watercourses for early industry and milling.

The southern portion of the quadrangle is defined by the sharp descent into Hoxie Gorge and the path of the Tioughnioga River. This area is dotted with small rural cemeteries like Atwood Cem, Turner Cem, and Freetown Cem near Freetown Corners, providing valuable markers for genealogists tracing the early residents of these upland townships. The network of local roads, such as McGraw Marathon Rd and Snyder Hill Rd, follows the difficult topography of the Finger Lakes region's eastern edges.
