About this map

The confluence of the Susquehanna River and the Chemung River defines this landscape on the Pennsylvania-New York border. This modern 2013 survey illustrates the dense street grids of Sayre, South Waverly, and Athens as they occupy the narrow river valley. To the south, the valley widens into the Queen Esther Flats near Tioga Point, a site of significant regional importance where the two major waterways meet.

The map details the transition from the urban centers of Milltown and East Athens to the higher elevations of Spanish Hill and Sutliff Hill. Smaller outlying settlements like Wilawana, Milan, and Greenes Landing appear alongside the intricate drainage networks of Wolcott Cr, Buck Cr, and Tutelow Cr. The presence of the Athens-Sayre Reservoirs and several islands, including Harris Island and Paines Island, highlights the hydrological character of the Chemung Valley and its impact on local development.
