1950 Map of Alpine

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Lehigh Valley rail lines dictate the human geography of this mid-century New York landscape, threading through the narrow valleys of Pony Hollow and the Cayuta Creek corridor. The topography is defined by high elevations like Connecticut Hill and Swan Hill that surround deep glens such as Hendershot Gulf and The Gulf. The settlement of Alpine serves as a primary hub, while the smaller Alpine Junction marks where transportation routes converge before heading toward the waters of Lake Cayuta. Local history is anchored by the Lawrence Memorial Chapel on the lake's western shore and the presence of a Fish Hatchery near the Schuyler and Tompkins County line. The map captures a moment when rural industry and transit relied heavily on these specific gaps in the Finger Lakes region's upland terrain.
