1895 Map of Elmira

USGS Topo · Published 1898

About this map

The Chemung River cuts a wide valley through this 1890s survey, serving as the central axis for the industrial and transit hub of Elmira. This era shows the city at a peak of rail connectivity, where the Northern Central R. R. and New York Lake Erie and Western R. R. converge at State Line Junction. The landscape is defined by the contrast between the dense grid of the city and the surrounding ridges, such as Mount Zoar and Hawley Hill, which hem in the river's floodplains.
