About this map

The Lehigh Valley railroad corridor anchors this survey of the northern Susquehanna River watershed, where the tracks thread a narrow valley between steep hills and managed woodlands. High-elevation landmarks like Connecticut Hill and Oak Hill define the rugged topography of the Finger Lakes region, while the low-lying Hinman Swamp and the southern tip of Cayuta Lake dominate the northern portion of the quadrangle.

Settlement is concentrated at Alpine and Alpine Junction, providing a detailed look at the rural intersection of Schuyler, Tompkins, and Chemung Counties. The map reveals a landscape heavily dedicated to conservation and forestry, illustrated by the vast Connecticut Hill State Game Management Area and the Cliffside State Forest. Local history is preserved in named sites like the Lawrence Memorial Chapel and family-named routes such as Lockerby Road and Mulford Road, which trace the legacy of early agricultural homesteads among the narrow gulfs and creeks.
