2013 Map of Caton

About this map

South Corning and the Corning Manor residential area occupy the northern edge of this landscape, where the Chemung River bends through the valley near the confluence of the Tioga River and Cowanesque River. The map reveals a transition from these developed valley fringes into the high ground of Spencer Hill and Martin Hill, characterized by a network of rural settlements and small farms. This plateau region is defined by deep drainages like Whisky Cr and Caton Cr, which helped dictate the early settlement patterns of hamlets such as West Caton and Frenchs Mill. Local history is preserved in sites like Elmwood Cem and Seelye Cem, while the area's modern infrastructure is represented by the Corning Community Coll campus and aviation sites including Old Port Royal Airport and Canaan's Field Airport.
