About this map

The Susquehanna River valley defines the lower portion of this 2010 study, where the village of Otego serves as the primary hub of settlement. The landscape north of the river is carved by several significant waterways, including the East Branch Otsdawa Creek and Flax Island Creek, which separate distinct ridges and hills such as Calder Hill. Small hamlets and named intersections like Otsdawa, Maple Grove, and Cook Corners are scattered throughout the northern reaches, connected by a network of rural roads that follow the valley floors.

For genealogists and local historians, this map is particularly valuable for its high density of family and community burial grounds. Beyond the larger Evergreen Cemetery, numerous smaller sites are documented, including the Burdick Cemetery, Hopkin Cemetery, and Quackenbush Cemetery. These locations, often situated along older road alignments like Burdick Hill Rd or near the creeks, provide a detailed look at the historic settlement patterns of Delaware County.
