About this map

The Chenango River valley and its surrounding highlands anchor this detailed 2019 survey, centered on the city of Norwich. The landscape reflects a deeply rooted settlement pattern, where the river and Canasawacta Creek converge near the Chenango County Court House. This valley has long served as a primary transportation corridor, now hosting the Lt Warren Eaton Airport and numerous hamlets like Plasterville and Polkville.

Genealogists and local historians will find an exceptional concentration of family and community burial grounds, including the Plymouth Northside Presbyterian Cem, Packer-Mason Cem, and Mount Hope Cem. Beyond the valley floor, the terrain rises into ridges such as Tinker Ridge and The Ledge, crisscrossed by historic rural routes like the Pharsalia Thruway and 9-Mile Truck Trail. These upland areas are dotted with smaller settlements including Plymouth, Preston, and South Plymouth, connected by a network of brooks and creeks like Gilmore Brook and Fly Creek.
