About this map

The West Branch Cayuga Inlet carves a deep valley through this Southern Tier landscape, anchoring a corridor of historical development at the close of the 1960s. The Lehigh Valley railroad line follows this natural grade, connecting settlements like West Danby and Newfield Station. To the north, the village of Newfield serves as a local hub, featuring the Newfield Central School and several residential streets.

Genealogists and local historians can find numerous family-named landmarks and burial sites, including the Sebring Cem and North Van Etten Ch Cem. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent summits such as Benjamin Hill, Protts Hill, and Jersey Hill, which separate the agricultural clearings and woodlots. In the south, Spencer Lake and the wetlands around McDuffy Creek highlight the varied hydrology of the Chemung and Tioga county borders.
