About this map

Susquehanna River valley life and upland timber harvesting define this 1965 look at the borderlands where Chenango, Delaware, and Broome counties meet. The landscape is dominated by expansive state-protected lands, including Afton State Forest and Masonville State Forest, which surround the primary corridors of Oquaga Creek and Masonville Creek. Settlement patterns favor the valley floors, with small crossroads like North Sanford and Masonville serving as local hubs.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial records across the terrain, from the Beech Hill Cem near the northern border to the Anthony Cem and several unnamed cemeteries near China. The map also captures the region's industrial footprint through scattered quarries and the presence of a gaging station and lookout tower on Page Pond Hill, reflecting the era's focus on forest management and resource monitoring.
