1900 Map of Dryden

USGS Topo · Published 1913

About this map

Cornell University anchors the western edge of this landscape, overlooking the growing city of Ithaca and the waters of Cascadilla Creek. This late 19th-century survey illustrates a dense network of valley settlements and upland summits throughout Tompkins and Tioga counties. Significant railway infrastructure defines the local economy, with the Lehigh Valley and the Elmira and Cortland Branch facilitating movement between hubs like Dryden, Brookton, and Willseyville. The rural character of the region is punctuated by family-named landmarks and minor junctions, including Caroline Depot and Cortland Junction. Natural drainage patterns are dominated by Sixmile Creek and Fall Creek, which carve through the terrain near Turkey Hill and Mount Pleasant, connecting isolated hamlets like Speedsville and Slaterville Springs to the larger collegiate and industrial centers to the west.
