1914 Map of Corning

About this map

Corning and Painted Post anchor the confluence of the Cohocton River, Tioga River, and Canisteo River where they join to form the Chemung River. This river junction served as a major industrial and transportation hub, illustrated by the dense network of the Erie RR and the Delaware Lackawanna and Western RR winding through the valley floors. The surrounding uplands are defined by smaller rural settlements like Caton, Lindley, and Hornby, each connected by a grid of schoolhouses such as Green Hill School, Stony Knoll School, and the patriotically named Liberty Pole School.
