2019 Map of Alpine

About this map

Alpine and Alpine Junction sit within the high, undulating terrain where the borders of Tompkins, Schuyler, and Chemung counties converge. This landscape is defined by its deep glacial depressions and prominent heights, such as Connecticut Hill and Swan Hill, which overlook the northern reaches of Pony Hollow. The settlement at Cayuta serves as a central point along the southern drainage of Cayuta Creek, a waterway that originates at Cayuta Lake near the Lawrence Cem in the northwest. Local history is etched into the hillsides through family-named landmarks like VanLone Hill and Varney Hill, alongside scattered rural burials at the Connecticut Hill Cem and Estabrook Cem. The presence of the Kayutah Lake Airport and the winding course of the N Country National Scenic Trail illustrate a landscape used for both local transit and modern recreation amidst established dairy and timber country.
