About this map

Otselic River valley serves as the central geographic axis for this rural landscape where the boundaries of Cortland Co and Broome Co meet. The settlement of Willet sits near the confluence of Willet Creek and the river, anchored by the Willet Village Cem. To the west, the terrain rises toward Irish Hill and Piety Ridge, where the small community of Texas Valley and its associated Texas Valley Cem are located.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local history through numerous family and community burial sites, including Beardsley Cem, Hazard Corners Cem, and Greene Cem. The map traces the winding paths of Whaupaunaucau Creek and Landers Creek as they feed the valley, while higher elevations are marked by the presence of High Lake and the provocatively named Bloody Pond. This documentation of the southern Tier uplands reveals a persistent pattern of rural crossroads and stream-side hamlets such as Upper Lisle and Georgetown.
