1900 Map of Dryden

About this map

Cornell University overlooks the growing city of Ithaca in this late nineteenth-century landscape, where a dense network of iron rails connected the Finger Lakes region to the broader commerce of New York. The topography is defined by the steep descent of Fall Creek and Casca dilla Creek toward the Cayuga basin, while the interior is dotted with rural hamlets such as Slaterville Springs and Caroline Center.
