About this map

The Susquehanna River defines the eastern corridor of this Broome County landscape, where the village of Windsor serves as a primary hub for the surrounding rural townships. The settlement pattern follows the valley floors and higher ridgelines, connected by a network of local thoroughfares such as Pease Road and Sugar Bush Road. In the mid-century era, small communities like Occanum, Edson, and Blatchley remained distinct points of interest for local genealogy, often anchored by landmarks like the Central Sch or family-adjacent burying grounds including Riverside Cem and Knox Cem.

Highland water bodies including Beaver Lake, White Birch Lake, and Hawkins Pond dot the southern uplands, while the northern reaches are marked by Agfa Lake and Rogers Lake. The map reveals a transition in land use, showing the established Hudson and Delaware route and numerous smaller settlements like Lester and Flowers that illustrate the post-war distribution of residents across the Windsor and Colesville borderlands.
