About this map

The confluence of the Cohocton River, Tioga River, and Chemung River serves as the geographic heart of this 1969 survey, where the industrial and residential centers of Corning and Painted Post are concentrated. The landscape transitions from the urban density of the Riverside and Gibson neighborhoods to the wooded slopes of Spencer Hill and Denmark Hill. Notable civic landmarks, including the Courthouse, City Hall, and Memorial Stadium, reflect the area's role as a regional hub.

Transportation infrastructure is a defining characteristic, with the Erie-Lackawanna and Penn Central railroads following the river valleys and cutting through the hills toward Ferenbaugh and Dyke. Local history is anchored by numerous cemeteries like St Marys Cem and Seven Seb Cem, while smaller settlements such as Gang Mills and Hornby provide a look at the outlying development patterns during this era of late 1960s growth.
