About this map

The Canisteo River and Tioga River converge in this corner of the Southern Tier, defining a landscape shaped by narrow valleys and significant transport corridors. The village of Addison serves as a focal point in the northwest, situated near the confluence of Tuscarora Creek, while the settlements of Erwins, Presho, and Lindley track the eastern riverbanks. Transportation is a dominant theme here, with the Erie-Lackawanna and Penn Central railroads threading through the valleys alongside rural routes like Vastbinder Road and Presho Road.

Local life is recorded in the placement of the Town Farm Airfield and specialized industry at the Tannery near the southern border. For those tracing family history, the map preserves the locations of several burial grounds including Jones-Erwin Cem and Orr Hill Cem, alongside educational landmarks like the Tuscarora Sch. Much of the higher ground remains protected within the State Forest Preserve, providing a clear view of the area's rural character in the late 1960s.
