1948 Map of Smithville Flats

About this map

Smithville Flats sits at the convergence of valley roads and waterways in Chenango County, serving as a primary hub for this mid-century rural landscape. The settlement patterns reflect a high degree of local organization, evidenced by numbered schoolhouses like School No 1 and School No 3, alongside several family-named cemeteries such as Knickerbocker Cem. The terrain is defined by a dense network of upland swamps and ponds, including Loomis Swamp and Hopkins Swamp, which feed into the Genegantslet Creek drainage system.
