About this map

Waverly anchors this landscape at the confluence of several vital watercourses, where the Chemung River meets the valley of Cayuta Creek. The topography is defined by significant ridges such as Baldwin and Barton, separated by a network of rural roads including Lockwood Road and Mallory Hill Road. Local history is deeply embedded in the distribution of family-named landmarks and institutions, from the St John of the Cross Monastery on Glory Hill to the clustered residences of Beantown and Reniff.

Transport and industry patterns are clearly visible through the Conrail rail lines and the presence of several gravel pits near the river. The map provides excellent genealogical detail, marking numerous burial grounds such as Forest Home Cem and Tallmadge Cem, alongside local education centers like the Lincoln Sch and Elm St Sch. This 1969 revision, with later updates, traces the development of North Waverly and East Waverly as they expanded around the central hospital and school facilities.
