2013 Map of Richford

About this map

Richford and Berkshire anchor this section of Tioga County, where the valley of the E Br Owego Cr has long dictated the layout of roads and settlements. This 2013 survey illustrates a landscape of narrow agricultural valleys and high wooded ridges, including Nixon Hill and Turkey Hill. The distribution of historic burial grounds, such as Highland Cem and the Railroad Avenue Cem, points to the long-established hamlets that line the creek banks. Small agricultural holdings like Kingbird Farm and Stoughton Farm remain visible among the larger rural tracts. The presence of Railroad Ave in Berkshire serves as a modern reminder of the transportation infrastructure that once connected these dairy-farming communities to regional markets, while outlying areas like New Connecticut and Jenksville reflect the persistent character of southern New York's upland settlements.
