2023 Map of Oneonta

About this map

Oneonta serves as the focal point of this Otsego County landscape, where the Susquehanna River meets the drainages of Oneonta Creek and Otego Creek. The city's educational legacy is clearly defined by the sprawling campuses of Hartwick College and SUNY Oneonta, both situated on the rising slopes north of the central business district. Surrounding the urban center, smaller settlements like West Oneonta, West End, and Emmons follow the valley floors, while the rugged topography of Franklin Mountain and Gifford Hill hems in the river corridor. A high density of burial grounds, including the large Riverside Cem and Oneonta Plains Cem, provides significant genealogical touchpoints across the quadrangle. The map also traces the transition into Delaware County to the south, marked by the winding course of Ouleout Creek near the village of North Franklin.
