1951 Map of Dryden

About this map

The village of Dryden serves as a northern anchor in this mid-century portrait of Tompkins County, where the Lehigh Valley Railroad cuts a diagonal path toward Dryden Lake. This transport corridor contrasts with the high elevations of the southern terrain, dominated by the peaks of Yellow Barn Hill, Beam Hill, and Star Stanton Hill. The landscape is defined by its drainage patterns, with Fall Creek in the northwest and the West Branch Owego Creek flowing south toward Tioga County.
