About this map

Broome County Airport and the expanding northern suburbs of Johnson City define this late-1960s landscape in Broome County. The map documents a period of significant infrastructure development, most notably the complex highway network represented by Interchange 4 through Interchange 8 along the eastern corridor. The Chenango River serves as a primary geographic anchor, flanked by the Erie Lackawanna and Delaware and Hudson railroads, illustrating the area's role as a transportation hub.

Rural character persists in the hills surrounding Castle Creek and the small settlement of New Ireland, while specialized land use is visible at the Broome Co Tech Community College and several large cemeteries, including Chenango Valley Cemetery. From the Drive-in Theater near East Maine to the Ely Park Binghamton Municipal Golf Course, the map captures the mid-century intersection of traditional townships like Maine and Chenango with modern recreational and industrial sites.
