About this map

The Otselic River and Brakel Cr carve through the high terrain of eastern Chenango County, defining a landscape of agricultural valleys and wooded ridges. In this 2016 record, the small settlements of North Pitcher, Pitcher Springs, and Pharsalia remain centered around historic crossroads, while the lower reaches of the map toward McDonough are marked by the presence of Genegantslet Lake.

Genealogists and local historians will find a dense concentration of burial sites that trace the region's 19th-century settlement patterns, including the Pitcher Congregational Church Cem, the Brakel Valley Churchyard Cem, and smaller family or community plots like Hinman Cem and Soper Cem. The network of local roads, such as A D Hakes Calhoun Rd and George Peasley Rd, preserves the names of early resident families across the ridges of Pink Hill and Oak Hill.
