2016 Map of Milford

About this map

The Susquehanna River carves a deep valley through Otsego County, anchoring a landscape where agricultural plateaus meet riparian corridors. Settlements like Milford and Portlandville are clustered along the river and its major tributaries, including Cherry Valley Creek and Schenevus Creek. The topography is defined by high ridges such as Crumhorn Mtn and Burying Ground Hill, which separate the primary river valley from smaller upland hollows like Hinman Hollow. At the southern edge, the river widens into Goodyear Lake near the community of Cliffside. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the township, from the central Milford Village Cem to smaller family or community plots like Sherman Cem and Platt Cem, which remain as markers of early settlement patterns in this part of central New York.
