1968 Map of Binghamton East

About this map

The Susquehanna River anchors this 1968 landscape, winding past the sprawling State Hospital and through a series of river-valley settlements on the cusp of suburban expansion. The valley floor is dominated by the Erie Lackawanna railroad and the emerging infrastructure of Interchanges 1, 2, and 3, which signal the region's mid-century transportation shifts. To the south, the map captures the transition from the industrial and institutional core of Binghamton to the rural townships of Conklin and Kirkwood.
