About this map

Truxton sits at the confluence where Labrador Creek meets the East Branch Tioughnioga River, anchoring a landscape defined by narrow valleys and steep upland ridges in Cortland County. This modern survey illustrates how historic hamlets like Crains Mills and East Homer have maintained their distinct identities along the river corridors. The terrain is marked by significant elevation changes, from the heights of Truxton Hill and Morgan Hill down to the fertile flats of Walter's Field.

For genealogists and local historians, the map preserves the exact locations of several vital community landmarks, including the Old Presbyterian Church Cem in the northwest and Saint Patricks Cem near the town center. The network of rural roads, such as Bells Mills Rd and Kenney Brook Rd, traces long-established routes through the drainage basins of Cheningo Creek and Trout Brook, reflecting the region's enduring agricultural and residential patterns.
