About this map

Dryden serves as a central hub in this modern topographic landscape, where the town's grid of streets like Main St and South St transition into the rolling uplands of Tompkins County. The map shows a well-established network of rural settlements, from the quiet residential layout of Willow Glen to the crossroads at Slaterville Springs. These communities are bound together by an intricate system of creeks, including Six Mile Cr and Fall Creek, the latter featuring the notable Fall Creek Bridge in the northwest corner.

Genealogists and local researchers will find significant value in the distribution of historic burial grounds, such as Willow Glen Cem, Mulks Cem, and the Dutch Reformed Cem. The southern half of the quadrangle is dominated by more elevation, characterized by summits like Hammond Hill and Yellow Barn Hill. The presence of several marked trails, such as the Red Main Run Road and various colored routes, suggests a landscape heavily used for recreation and forestry near the Tioga and Cortland county lines.
