About this map

The Susquehanna River carves a winding path through the heart of Tioga County, defining the agricultural and residential development of Owego and its surrounding hamlets. The village of Owego serves as a dense core at the confluence with Owego Cr, where a complex street grid includes historic corridors like Front St and Main St. Moving downstream, the river passes through the dramatic bend at Devils Elbow and the narrows near Tuffs Island.

Rural life is anchored by family farms and smaller settlements such as Tioga Center and Nichols. For genealogists and local historians, this survey is exceptionally detailed in its documentation of burial grounds, ranging from large sites like Evergreen Cem to more secluded locations such as Old Lounsberry Cem and Briggs Hollow Cem. The landscape is further shaped by prominent heights like Catlin Hill and West Beecher Hill, which oversee the productive valleys of Smith Cr and Hunts Cr.
