1977 Map of Tiadaghton

About this map

Pine Creek carves a deep, winding path through the landscape of Tioga County, defining the western portion of this orthophotoquad. This unique perspective, derived from 1977 aerial photography, reveals the stark contrast between the steep, wooded slopes bordering the water and the high plateau farmland to the east. Small rural settlements like Dexter and Kennedy appear as tight clusters of structures along established roads, surrounded by a patchwork of agricultural fields. This 1970s snapshot captures the rural economy of the region before modern development patterns significantly altered the footprint of these historic crossroads. The imagery provides an unmistakable record of field boundaries, forest cover, and the precise siting of homes and barns in Olmsville and Tiadaghton, offering genealogists and land historians a clear view of the terrain as it existed late in the century.
