1949 Map of Whitney Point

About this map

The confluence of the Otselic River and the Tioughnioga River serves as the focal point for this Broome County landscape, which is defined by a sophisticated flood management system. The prominent Whitney Point Flood Control Dam was established by the 1940s to protect the downstream communities of Whitney Point and Lisle. These settlements are closely tied to the transport corridors that follow the river valleys, including the Delaware Lackawanna and Western Railroad and the historic Catskill and Western Turnpike.
