About this map

Richfield Springs serves as a primary hub for this portion of the northern Susquehanna River headwaters region, situated between the north shores of Canadarago Lake and the upper reaches of Otsego Lake. The map reveals a landscape defined by glacial topography, featuring numerous water bodies such as Weaver Lake, Young Lake, and Allen Lake, alongside prominent elevations like Rum Hill and Metcalf Hill.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and local burial grounds, including the uniquely named Twelve Thousand Cem, Marshall Cem, and Pierce Cem. The map traces the rural character of the area through small settlements like Warren, Springfield Center, and Pierstown, as well as the transition from farm roads to natural landmarks like Fivemile Point Mohican Canyon along the Otsego shoreline. The presence of Richfield Airport and various county highways indicates the modern connectivity layered over this historically rural dairy and resort country.
