About this map

The Susquehanna River corridor forms the industrial and residential heart of this late-1960s landscape, where the Erie-Lackawanna railroad tracks parallel the water and connect the manufacturing hubs of Endicott and Vestal. This era shows a dense network of community institutions, including the Ideal Hosp, En-Joye Park, and numerous parochial schools like St Josephs Sch and St Anthony Sch. North of the river, the suburban growth of Endwell and West Corners transitions into the steep slopes of Bornt Hill.

South of the river, the terrain rises sharply toward the Tracy Creek State Forest. This rural upland is defined by creek valleys and isolated landmarks such as the Tracy Creek Ch and Tracy Creek Cem. The juxtaposition of the bustling Tri-Cities Airport near the riverbank against the quiet, wooded heights of Grippen Hill illustrates the varied character of Broome County as it modernized during the post-war period.
