About this map

The Chemung River valley and its surrounding ridges define this borderland landscape between New York and Pennsylvania. In the late 1960s, the village of Waverly serves as the primary hub, clustered with civic landmarks like the High Sch, Elm St Sch, and St James Sch. The industrial and transportation history of the region is evident in the parallel paths of the Lehigh Valley and Erie-Lackawanna railroads, which track the river and the Cayuta Creek corridor through North Waverly.

Smaller hamlets such as Lockwood, Reniff, and Hicks are scattered among the hills to the north, where family-named peaks like Putnam Hill and Bogart Hill overlook the narrow valleys. A notable spiritual landmark, the St John of the Cross Monastery, sits near the base of Glory Hill. This survey captures the area's transition from a rail-dependent river valley into a modern residential and recreational landscape, complete with multiple golf courses and the expanding footprint of East Waverly.
