2019 Map of Richford

About this map

Richford and Berkshire anchor the valleys of the East Branch Owego Creek in this northern Tioga County landscape. The settlement pattern follows the north-south drainage, where older hamlets like East Richford and East Berkshire sit at the feet of high ridges such as Turkey Hill and Nixon Hill. Local genealogists will find several burial grounds mapped, including the Highland Cem near Richford and the Railroad Avenue Cem in Berkshire. The topography is deeply incised by tributaries like Dudley Cr and Wilson Cr, with the southwestern corner showing the smaller community of Jenksville near the Tompkins County line. A distinctive network of color-coded trails—labeled Blue, Red, and Yellow—indicates modern recreational use throughout the hilly terrain west of New Connecticut.
