About this map

The Chemung River cuts through the heart of the city of Elmira and Southport, defining the urban geography of this Southern Tier region. The landscape is marked by significant historical and civic infrastructure, from the Woodlawn National Cemetery and Woodlawn Cemetery in the north to the Norfolk Southern rail lines that facilitate industrial transport. Residential developments like Hathorn Court and Bradley Farms are visible alongside specialized housing projects such as the Hoffman Plaza Housing Project and Dewittsburg Park Housing Project.

Water management and natural terrain are prominent features, with the Elmira Reservoir and Foster Pond situated near the urban center. The southern portion of the quadrangle transitions into higher elevations including Comfort Hill and Green Hill, where smaller settlements like Pine City and Rosstown are established. Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites, including the Second Street Cemetery, Fulton Street Cemetery, and Roushy Cemetery.
