1900 Map of Dryden

USGS Topo · Published 1932

About this map

Cornell University sits on the western edge of this survey, overlooking the developing city of Ithaca and the steep ravines formed by Fall Creek and Cascadilla Creek. The landscape transitions from the academic and urban hub of the Finger Lakes into a complex network of dairy-farming valleys and upland ridges. The era's heavy reliance on rail transport is evident in the dense concentration of lines, including the Elmira and Cortland Branch Lehigh Valley Railroad and the Delaware Lackawanna and Western Railroad, which connected rural hamlets like Etna and Brookton to larger markets.
