1943 Map of Otego

About this map

The Susquehanna River corridor forms the primary artery of this mid-century survey, where the Delaware and Hudson railroad tracks parallel the water through the valley floor. Settlement is concentrated along the southern river plains and the drainage of Otsdawa Creek, while the surrounding uplands in Butternuts and Morris maintain a sparse, rural character. The landscape is dotted with numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Evergreen Cem and Burdick Cem, which provide significant genealogical data for the region.
