About this map

Canadarago Lake and its northern outflow dominate the eastern portion of this mid-century survey of Otsego County. The landscape is characterized by its early transport corridors, including the Skaneateles Turnpike and the Cherry Valley Turnpike, alongside the tracks of the D L & W RR passing through Richfield Springs. Rural education and community life are well-documented through numerous district facilities like Cobblestone Sch, Ryder Sch, and School No 5.

Settlement patterns in the town of Exeter and Burlington are centered around small crossroads such as Exeter Center, Brainard Corners, and Schuyler Lake. Genealogists can locate several burial grounds including Twilight Rest Cem and Herkimer Cem. The terrain is marked by distinct summits like Hawk Hill, Hyder Hill, and Panther Mtn, which frame the agricultural valleys and small brooks that feed into Oaks Creek.
