About this map

The village of Newfield and the historic Newfield Bridge anchor this portion of Tompkins County, where the West Branch Cayuga Inlet carves through the terrain. The landscape is defined by its deep genealogical record, preserved in numerous family and community burial grounds such as the Hine Family Cemetery, Sebring Cemetery, and the Old Newfield Village Cemetery. To the southeast, the settlement of West Danby sits near the West Danby Methodist Cemetery and Valley View Cemetery, illustrating the long-standing community centers of the region.

Agricultural land use is prominent throughout, with named tracts like Stoneybrook Farm, Littletree Orchards, and Indian Creek Fruit Farm appearing north of Stratton. The topography is marked by significant elevations including Protts Hill, Bruce Hill, and Benjamin Hill, which separate the various creek valleys. In the southern reach, the map tracks the transition toward North Spencer and the headwaters at Spencer Lake, showing a rural network of roads like Vankirk Rd and Shaffer Rd that connect these dispersed farmsteads and upland hills.
