About this map

The Susquehanna River winds through this tri-county region, serving as a primary corridor for both transportation and settlement. The village of Sidney sits at a strategic bend in the river, where the Unadilla River joins from the north. This geography established the area as a significant junction point for Chenango, Otsego, and Delaware Counties. The landscape is characterized by high ridges such as Sidney Mtn and Dingman Hill, which frame narrow valleys like Rogers Hollow.

Local genealogy is well-documented through numerous burial sites, including the Greenlawn Cem in Bainbridge and the Congregational Church Cem near the Main Street Bridge. Modern infrastructure, such as the Sidney Municipal Airport, is situated alongside older rural markers like Yaleville and Bennettsville. The map also captures essential water resources, from the Bainbridge Reservoir to the smaller Sidney Reservoir, illustrating how the upland terrain has been managed for local utility.
