2019 Map of Otselic

About this map

The Otselic River carves through the highland terrain of Chenango County, anchoring a series of small, dispersed settlements including Otselic, Otselic Center, and Bonney. This high-relief landscape is defined by its numerous tributary brooks—such as Muller Brook, Mann Brook, and Middletown Brook—which flow between prominent elevations like Texas Hill and Truman Hill. The map provides significant genealogical value through its documentation of rural burial grounds, including Maple Grove Cem, Bonney Cem, and Cole Hill Cem, each situated near their respective historic hamlets. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the terrain transitions into the upper reaches of the E Br Canasawacta Cr watershed near Beaver Meadow and Pigeon Hill. The intricate network of local roads, such as Ivan Stannard Rd and Fur Farm Rd, reflects the area's agricultural and forest-based orientation.
