1955 Map of Cortland
USGS Topo · Published 1966About this map
The industrial and academic hub of Cortland sits at the confluence of the Tioughnioga River and several glacial valleys, serving as a primary rail center in mid-century New York. The city's growth is anchored by the State College (Normal) and a dense network of transit, where the Lehigh Valley and Erie Lackawanna Railroad lines intersect. Beyond the urban grid of Main St and Tompkins St, the landscape transitions into the hills of Cortlandville and Virgil, where local life centered on rural institutions like the Elm Stump Church and Virgil Rural Cemetery.
