About this map

The Chemung River cuts a wide arc through the heart of this valley, anchoring a dense network of neighborhoods and civic institutions. At its center, Elmira and Southport serve as the primary hubs, surrounded by smaller residential pockets like West Elmira and Elmira Heights. The map highlights a significant concentration of urban and historical landmarks, from the Chemung County Courthouse and Elmira College to numerous established burial grounds such as Woodlawn Cem and the Saints Peter and Paul Cem.

South of the city, the terrain transitions into the high ground of Comfort Hill and Green Hill, where rural settlements like Rosstown and Pine City sit along the banks of Seeley Creek. The map records a complex landscape of islands within the river, including Clinton Island and Big Island, while also documenting the cross-border boundary between Chemung County, New York, and Bradford County, Pennsylvania.
