1953 Map of Big Flats

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Big Flats occupies the fertile valley floor where the Chemung River meets a complex network of northern hollows. This mid-century survey illustrates a landscape defined by the convergence of major transportation corridors, featuring the parallel routes of the Erie RR and the Delaware Lackawanna and Western RR. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the broad floodplain that gives the area its name, while the northern terrain rises sharply into ridges like Townley Hill and Harris Hill.
