About this map

South Otselic serves as the primary hub in this corner of Central New York, where the Otselic River winds through a landscape of high ridges and narrow valleys. The map documents a rural network of small hamlets and historical family-named landmarks straddling the Madison and Chenango county line. Notable settlements like Mariposa, Rhode Island, and Lincklaen Center are connected by winding township roads such as Paradise Hill Rd and Lincklaen Center Rd.

Elevation extremes are represented by Crumb Hill and Silas Hill Mtn, which overlook the smaller tributaries like Ashbell Brook and Glen Brook. For local history researchers, the map identifies several well-preserved burial grounds including Crumb Hill Cem, Woodlawn Cem, and the uniquely named Seventh Day Hollow Cem near Seventh Day Hollow. The geographic distribution of these cemeteries and tiny crossroads like Northwest Corners reveals the enduring 19th-century settlement patterns of the region.
