About this map

The Susquehanna River anchors this mid-century landscape, carving a wide valley that serves as the primary corridor for industry and transportation. The urban core of Endicott and Endwell shows significant development, featuring the campus of Harpur College and the En-Joie Golf Course. This industrial hub is connected to the wider region by the Erie RR and Lackawanna RR, which parallel the riverbanks. To the north, the terrain transitions into a series of ridges and hollows, where smaller rural settlements like Newark Valley and Maine are situated along the Owego Creek and Nanticoke Creek drainages.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, from the Riverside Cem near the river to the St Johns Ch in the uplands. The presence of the Tri-Cities Airport and the Radio Range Sta highlights the era's growing aviation infrastructure. Outside the developed valley, the Oakley Corners State Forest and numerous named summits like Pollard Hill and Cafferty Hill define the high ground between the creek valleys.
