About this map

Smithville Flats and the surrounding Chenango County hills form a landscape defined by meandering waterways and scattered agricultural crossroads. The valley of Genegantslet Cr serves as the primary drainage through the center of the quadrangle, joined by tributaries like Five Streams and Strongs Brook. These water systems supported the early development of hamlets such as McDonough in the northeast and Lakeview along the shores of Cincinnatus Lake.

Genealogists will find several burial grounds across the township, including Smithville Flats Cem, Union Cem, and the remote Ashcraft Cem. The terrain is marked by prominent elevations like Bolster Hill and Meeker Hill, which dictated the winding paths of rural roads like Pucker St and Brandy Ln. Small water bodies such as Echo Lake, Jam Pond, and Long Pond punctuate the higher elevations, illustrating the glacial topography of this central New York region.
