2019 Map of Schenevus

About this map

The Schenevus Creek valley serves as the primary corridor for settlement and transit through this portion of Otsego County. The village of Schenevus stands as the central hub, surrounded by smaller hamlets including Chaseville and Tuscan. The topography is defined by significant elevations such as Hooker Mtn and Badeau Hill, which separate the various drainages feeding into the Charlotte Valley to the south. Numerous family-named landmarks and small burial grounds, such as Bliven Cem and Simpson Cem, are scattered across the landscape, providing essential touchpoints for genealogical research. The presence of Knapp Airport near Elk Creek and the established road network, including the path of Schenevus Cr, illustrates the long-standing importance of this valley in connecting the interior of New York State. The boundary between Otsego and Delaware Counties is clearly delineated as it crosses near Simpsonville, marking a transition in the local jurisdiction.
