About this map

Crumhorn Mountain dominates the central landscape of this Otsego County survey, situated between the valleys of the Susquehanna River and Schenevus Creek. The map records a series of upland settlements and family landmarks during the mid-1940s, including Edson Corners and Clintonville. Local history is deeply embedded in the terrain through named cemeteries such as Sherman Cem, Waters Cem, and the simple designation of a Burying Ground near the Hartwick border.

The winding course of the Susquehanna links the communities of Milford and Portlandville, eventually broadening into Goodyear Lake at the southern edge of the sheet. Transportation is defined by the parallel paths of the river and the Delaware and Hudson Road, reflecting the valley's role as a transit corridor. Higher elevations are marked by features like Crumhorn Lake and Saddlebag Lake, surrounded by small district schools like School No 3 and School No 4 that served these rural communities.
