2019 Map of Waverly

About this map

Cayuta Creek flows southward through a deep valley, guiding the transit corridor for the community of Lockwood and the larger settlement of Waverly. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief, where summits like Maple Hill, Porter Hill, and Tallmadge Hill rise sharply above the Chemung River and its fertile Chemung Valley. This 2019 survey documents a region where historic burial grounds are remarkably dense, preserving local lineage at sites such as Glenwood Cem, Forest Home Cem, and the Saint James Roman Catholic Cem. Small outlying hamlets including Hicks and Reniff remain nestled in the upland ridges, while the drainage of Dry Brook and Wynkoop Creek cuts through the western hills. The network of winding rural roads, such as Simcoe Hill Road and Miller Hollow Road, suggests a pattern of development shaped by the challenging terrain of the New York and Pennsylvania borderlands.
