2019 Map of Morris

About this map

Butternut Creek and its many tributaries carve through this pocket of Otsego County, defining the settlement patterns of small communities like Morris, New Lisbon, and West Laurens. The landscape is notably dotted with numerous small family and community burial grounds, such as the Quaker Burying Ground, Hillington Cem, and the Old Church Cem, which serve as vital markers for local genealogical research. In the northern reaches, the village of Welcome sits near the headwaters of Stony Cr, while the rural uplands are marked by landmarks like Gill Hill and the uniquely named Don Kichote-Quixote Airport. The map also details the winding paths of Wharton Cr and Harrison Cr, illustrating how the region's topography is shaped by the constant presence of water moving through the hills.
