2019 Map of West Winfield

About this map

West Winfield and Clayville anchor the northern and southern reaches of this landscape, where the headwaters of the Unadilla River and its branches define the local geography. The area's agricultural and social history is preserved through an extensive network of cemeteries, including the Meeting House Green Cem and Saint Joseph's Cem, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research. The terrain transitions from the low-lying Bridgewater Flats to prominent heights like Dry Hill and Wheelock Hill. Historical settlement patterns are evident at Ritchfield Junction and North Winfield, while the presence of Cedar Lake suggests a community shaped by its natural water features. This record of the tri-county border area where Oneida, Herkimer, and Otsego counties meet illustrates the enduring rural layout of central New York in the early 21st century.
