1906 Map of Catatonk

About this map

Cornell University anchors the northwestern corner of this territory, where the landscape begins its descent toward the Finger Lakes region. The terrain is defined by the deep valleys of Owego Creek and Catatonk Creek, which carve through the high ground of Tompkins and Tioga counties. This early century landscape shows a dense network of early rail infrastructure, including the Lehigh Valley RR and the Erie RR, which facilitated the movement of goods and people between agricultural hubs like Dryden and Marathon.
