About this map

Colgate University anchors the landscape of central New York in this mid-1980s planimetric study, which illustrates the dense network of small villages and water-management features across Chenango and Madison Counties. The city of Norwich serves as a primary hub along the Chenango River, with notable landmarks such as the Chenango County Courthouse and Mt Hope Cem marking the local topography.

A complex hydraulic system is evident through numerous man-made features like Eaton Reservoir, Bradley Brook Reservoir, and Earlville Reservoir, which support the region's diverse drainage basins. Large conservation areas, including the Pharsalia State Wildlife Management Area and Hunts Pond State Park, occupy the uplands between the Unadilla River and Otselic River valleys. The map also traces the rail infrastructure of the era, specifically the Conrail and New York, Susquehanna and Western RR lines that navigated the narrow river corridors.
