2023 Map of Richford

About this map

The northern valley of East Branch Owego Creek anchors this Tioga County landscape, where small hamlets and numerous family-named cemeteries trace the lineage of local settlement. From Richford down to Berkshire, the valley floor supports primary transport routes, while the surrounding uplands like Turkey Hill and Nixon Hill are marked by a network of rural roads such as Payne Marsh Rd and Victory Hill Rd. The map reveals a dense concentration of historical burial grounds, including the centrally located Evergreen Cem and the more remote Brown's Settlement Cem and Bushnell Cem. Along the western edge, the Tompkins and Tioga county line crosses through the drainage of West Branch Owego Creek, highlighting the rugged partition between these two southern tier districts. Further south, the small community of Jenksville and the curiously named New Connecticut provide evidence of early neighborhood clusters near Wilson Creek.
