About this map

The confluence of the Tioga River, Cohocton River, and Chemung River defines the landscape around Corning and Painted Post. This network of waterways is shadowed by modern transportation corridors and surrounded by a high density of early burial grounds, including the Saint Marys, Hope, and High Street cemeteries. The valley floor transitions into high ground marked by Higman Hill and Pine Hill, with hollows like Mormon Hollow and Erwin Hollow carving through the terrain to the north and east.

Industrial and agricultural signatures are visible in the layout of Gang Mills and the outlying West Wind Farm, while the Corning-Painted Post Airport occupies the flatlands near the river bend. The map documents a corridor of settlements including Riverside, Denmark, and Gibson, illustrating how development followed the natural path of Post Creek and the Chemung valley. These detailed labels offer a clear view of the relationship between the historic river crossings and the expanding infrastructure of the early 21st century.
