Book excerpt: Excerpt from Agricultural Conditions in Southern New York Fig. 2. - View showing the general topography of the land on the hilltops of southern New York. Chemung, Tompkins, Tioga, Cortland, Broome, Chenango, Otsego, and southern Madison to Schoharie and Albany counties. The parts of this area which are in the condition described constitute but a small proportion of its total acreage. Many of the best farms of the State are located in these counties. Although their local topography varies somewhat, in general it is the same. Feeble glaciation has left high, rather steep hills, on the tops of which there are often considerable areas of fairly level to rolling lands. The water flow of many-years has cut frequent and more or less deep valleys, usually running north and south. Thus it will be seen that the whole area is very much broken in its general outline. The land on the top of the hills (fig. 2) was cleared of timber from Sixty to one hundred years ago, depending somewhat on the locality.
