About this map

Westford and Middlefield anchor this section of Otsego County, where the headwaters of several prominent stream systems carve a series of high valleys. The topography is dominated by north-south ridges like Pollack Mountain and Darling Hill, which funnel drainage into the Cherry Valley Creek and Snyder Cr. The map details a well-established network of rural hamlets, including Roseboom, Lentsville, and Maple Valley, each connected by a grid of historical roads such as Boyd Rd and Middlefield Rd.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family-named landmarks and local burial grounds, including the Westford Cem, Draper Hill Cem, and Roseboom Cem. The rural economy of the area is reflected in the naming of topographical features like Winnie Hollow and Hubbel Hollow, while the water resources of Belvedere Lake and Shellrock Cr define the northern reaches of the quadrangle.
