2019 Map of Corning

About this map

The Chemung River serves as the focal point of this region, formed by the confluence of the Cohocton River and Tioga River near the historic industrial center of Corning. The river valley acts as a natural corridor for development, connecting the city to surrounding settlements like Riverside, Painted Post, and South Corning. The topography is defined by high elevations such as Spencer Hill and Higman Hill that overlook the urban core, while more isolated locales like Hornby and Ferenbaugh sit among the upland drainages of Dry Run and Post Creek. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the landscape, including Hope Cem, West Hill Cem, and the Saint Marys Roman Catholic Cem. The map also captures critical infrastructure like the Bridge Street Bridge and the Corning-Painted Post Airport, illustrating how the valley's geography has shaped transportation and settlement patterns into the 21st century.
