About this map

Tyner and Smithville Center anchor this Chenango County landscape, where the terrain is defined by the high ground of Miller Hill and Painter Hill. The drainage patterns of Ludlow Cr, Tillotson Cr, and Kedron Brook dictate the placement of early roads and homesteads, while the Chenango River cuts through the southeastern corner of the quadrangle. The map reveal a deeply rooted rural community, marked by numerous family-named burial grounds and remote landmarks.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of cemeteries such as Ten Broeck Cem, Towsley and Pond Cem, and Stafford Cem, which are scattered throughout the hills near East McDonough. These small, localized sites, along with features like Corbin Swamp and Spruce Swamp, preserve the names of early settlers and the original character of the land before modern development. The network of seasonal and local roads like Stone Quarry Hill Rd suggests a history of local industry and agriculture tied to the geography of Buckley Hollow.
