1969 Map of Waverly

About this map

Waverly and its surroundings straddle the border of New York and Pennsylvania during a period of industrial and infrastructure change. The village center is densely mapped with streets like Broad Street and Clinton Ave, showing a established community anchored by the High Sch and St James Ch. The landscape is defined by the confluence of the Chemung River and Cayuta Creek, where the Conrail tracks follow the natural water gaps to facilitate regional transport. Outside the village, the terrain rises into named ridges such as West Hill and Porter Hill, where smaller settlements like Beantown, Hicks, and Owens Mills persist. Notable for genealogists are several rural burying grounds, including Hicks Cem and Dry Brook Cem, as well as the specialized site of the St John of the Cross Monastery near Glory Hill.
