About this map

The Chemung River cuts a wide path through the valley floor, defining the layout of Elmira and its surrounding communities. This 2016 survey shows the dense urban grid of the city, where institutions like Elmira Coll and the Elmira Business Institute sit near established residential districts. Several historic burial grounds, including Woodlawn Cem and the Saints Peter and Paul Cem, are prominent landmarks within the city limits.

South of the river, the terrain shifts into the steep, wooded rises of Mt Zoar and Green Hill. These southern ridges are marked by narrow hollows like Smut Hollow and Christian Hollow, where smaller settlements such as Rosstown and Pine City follow the course of Seeley Creek. The map effectively captures the transition from the industrial and academic hub of the valley to the rural high ground near the Chemung Co Bradford Co border.
