2016 Map of South Valley

About this map

South Valley and the surrounding highlands of the Otsego and Schoharie county line define this corner of New York. The landscape is marked by a high density of small family or local burial grounds, including the Sissum, Winnie, and Ferris cemeteries, reflecting the deep-rooted settlement history of the region. Waterways like Pleasant Brook and Buttermilk Falls cut through the terrain near peaks such as Honey Hill and Pine Mtn. Small hamlets and crossroads like Gothicville, Furnaceville, and Decatur are connected by a network of winding roads, illustrating the persistent rural character of these valleys. The topography is further distinguished by water bodies like Bear Swamp Pond and Plank Pond, which sit amidst the ridges of Elliot Hill and Algerine Hill.
