2019 Map of Otego

About this map

The Susquehanna River flows through the southern portion of this region, providing the primary corridor for development and transport near the village of Otego. This area is characterized by a high concentration of small family and community burial grounds, such as Evergreen Cem, Presbyterian Cem, and Burdick Cem, which are scattered among the ridges and valleys. The landscape is defined by the drainage systems of Otsdawa Cr, Flax Island Cr, and Brier Cr, which carve deep paths between elevations like Baker Hill and Chamberlain Hill. The northern settlements of Otsdawa and Maple Grove remain connected by a network of rural routes, including the descriptively named Hell Hollow Rd. The topography illustrates the traditional upstate New York pattern of valley-floor agriculture and hillside forestry, with numerous cemeteries serving as permanent markers of long-established rural lineages.
