2016 Map of Corning

About this map

The Chemung River serves as the central artery for this industrial and transit corridor in Steuben County, where the Cohocton River and Tioga River converge near Painted Post. This junction of three major river valleys has long dictated the development of Corning and its surrounding satellite communities like Riverside and South Corning. The landscape is characterized by steep, narrow hollows and high ridges, including Frog Hollow and Mormon Hollow, which hem in the urbanized flats. Genealogists will find a wealth of burial grounds throughout the quadrangle, ranging from the large St Marys Roman Catholic Cem and Hope Cem in the south to the more isolated West Hill Cem and Goodsell Cem in the northern uplands of Hornby. Infrastructure like the Corning-Painted Post Airport and Meads Creek Bridge highlight the region's role as a regional hub of transportation.
