About this map

Butternut Creek and Wharton Creek define the drainage of this central New York landscape, which remains largely rural with scattered hamlets and small crossroads. The village of Morris anchors the western edge, while a series of smaller historical settlements like Stetsonville, New Lisbon, and West Laurens are connected by a network of local routes including Potato Farm Rd and Myers Mill.

Genealogists will find numerous family-named landmarks and burial sites, from the centrally located Old Church Cemetery to the Bennett Weatherly Cemetery further south. The eastern portion of the map is dominated by the recreation and conservation lands of Gilbert Lake State Park, containing both Gilbert Lake and the poetically named Lake of the Twin Fawns. The naming convention of many roads, such as Bill Dockstader Rd and S Welcome Rd, reflects the deep-rooted local heritage of the surrounding Otsego County countryside.
