2013 Map of Dryden

About this map

Dryden and its surrounding hill country are characterized by a network of creeks and prominent summits that define the Tompkins County landscape. This 2013 survey documents the modern layout of rural settlements like Slaterville Springs, Willow Glen, and Caroline, connected by winding roads that navigate the complex topography. The drainage patterns are clearly defined by Fall Creek, Sixmile Cr, and the West Branch of the W Br Owego Cr, while Dryden Lake serves as a primary water feature in the northeastern sector. Local history and genealogy are anchored by several notable burial grounds, including the Dutch Reformed Cem and Mulks Cem near West Slaterville, as well as the Willow Glen Cem. High points such as Hammond Hill and Yellow Barn Hill provide a perspective on the agricultural and forested character of the Finger Lakes region south of the village of Dryden.
