About this map

The Susquehanna River and Schenevus Creek converge at the northern edge of this territory, framing the settlement of Colliersville and the critical rail-and-road junction at Cooperstown Junction. This landscape is defined by the broad Charlotte Valley, where Charlotte Creek meanders past the villages of West Davenport and Davenport Center. The terrain is characterized by high ridges like South Hill and Crumhorn Mtn, with smaller communities such as Pindars Corners and Shackport situated in the hollows and along the creek banks.

Genealogists will find several family and community burial sites, including the Newell Cem and McMinn Cem, scattered along the valley floor. The map also documents the Pine Lake Environmental Campus (Hartwick College) near Pine Lake, and the modern footprint of the Tomahawk Hills Airport to the south. This survey illustrates the persistent rural character of the Otsego and Delaware county line, where development follows the historical watercourses.
