2013 Map of Wellsburg

About this map

The Chemung River carves a broad valley through the southern tier of New York on this 2013 survey, anchoring the village of Wellsburg and the hamlet of Lowman. The landscape is a mix of river-bottom agriculture and steep ridges, where small family-named landmarks like Brown Hill and Oak Hill rise above the drainage of Baldwin Cr. Genealogists will find several small burial grounds across the hills, including Ashland Cem and the Elliott Searles Cem near the river, while the Wellsburg Baptist Church serves as a central landmark for the village. North of the river, the settlement pattern shifts toward residential pockets like Holly Park Terrace and Birchland Park, while North Chemung remains a distinct rural center. The mapping reflects a modern era of land management, featuring the Chemung County Landfill alongside recreational sites like the Garner Hill Campground.
