About this map

Smithville Flats and the surrounding Chenango County uplands are defined by a network of high-elevation swamps and creek valleys in this 2016 survey. The village of Smithville Flats sits at a crossroads near the confluence of Red Brook and Genegantslet Creek, serving as a primary hub for this rural district. To the north, the small settlement of German Four Corners and the edge of McDonough indicate the sparse, agricultural nature of the terrain.

Water and topography dominate the landscape, from the large basins of Cincinnatus Lake and Long Pond to numerous named wetlands such as Waitling Swamp and Hopkins Swamp. For genealogists, several burial grounds are documented across the hills, including Maple Grove Cem, Smithville Flats Cem, and Knickerbocker Cem. The map illustrates how local transit routes like Co RD 2 and Skillman Hoffman Rd follow the natural contours of hills like Bolster Hill and Winchell Hill.
