About this map

Industrial and institutional development along the Chemung River valley characterizes this mid-century look at the southern tier of New York. The urban core of Elmira and Elmira Heights is documented in detail, showing a dense grid of residential and commercial expansion during the early 1950s. The map illustrates the significance of the New York Central and Erie Lackawanna rail lines in shaping the corridor through Horseheads and Big Flats.
