About this map

Elmira College and the surrounding urban grid of Elmira define the northern portion of this Chemung River valley study. The landscape is notably marked by significant memorial sites, including the expansive Woodlawn National Cemetery and Woodlawn Cemetery, which provide deep historical roots for the community. Residential developments like the Hoffman Plaza Housing Project and Hathorn Court reflect mid-century growth patterns, while institutions such as the Elmira Business Institute anchor the commercial core.

To the south, the terrain shifts from the dense streets of West Elmira toward the rural character of Pine City and Rosstown. The Chemung River winds through the center, creating landforms like Clinton Island and Big Island. Smaller communities and rural landmarks, including Dalrymples Airport and the Christian Hollow Cemetery, sit nestled between Hawley Hill and Comfort Hill, tracing the transition from industrial riverfront to the upland hollows of Chemung County.
