About this map

The village of Spencer serves as a primary hub in this southern Tioga County landscape, where the waters of Spencer Lake feed into the winding Catatonk Cr. The region is defined by a series of narrow valleys and rural agricultural holdings, such as Locust Woods Farm and Jewell Farms, connected by a network of named hollows including Gay Hollow and Tyler Hollow. These drainages, such as Pipe Cr and Evelin Hill Cr, dictate the placement of small outlying settlements like Halsey Valley and Straits Corners.

For those tracing family history, the area contains numerous burial grounds including the Evergreen Cem and Old Cem near the village, along with remote sites like Schumacher Road Cem and Chapel Hill Cem. The presence of the Baptist Corners Cem and several other small family-named plots suggest the long-standing community foundations that persist even as the landscape remains primarily open and rural into the early 21st century.
