2019 Map of Whitney Point

About this map

The confluence of the Otselic River and the Tioughnioga River anchors the geography of this northern Broome County landscape, where the village of Whitney Point serves as a central hub. The river valleys facilitate primary transportation corridors, including the Tioughnioga River Bridge, while the surrounding uplands are defined by family-named routes like Kales Hill Rd and Wilson Hill Rd. The distribution of burial grounds throughout the quadrangle, such as Lisle Cem, Riverside Cem, and the remote Taft Cem, provides a significant framework for genealogical research. Smaller hamlets like Hydeville, Itaska, and Triangle are connected by a network of rural roads that navigate the complex drainage systems of Ticknor Brook and Halfway Brook. This 2019 survey documents the enduring settlement patterns of these river valley communities and their relationship to the high-relief terrain of the Southern Tier.
