About this map

Industrial development and suburban growth define the corridor along the Susquehanna River in the mid-1950s. The urban centers of Endicott and Endwell are densely detailed, showing the expansion of Harpur College and the layout of the En-Joie Golf Course. This landscape is a hub of mid-century transportation, where the Erie Lackawanna RR and Delaware Lackawanna and Western RR parallel the river, supporting the region's manufacturing base.

North of the river, the terrain transitions into the steep ridges of Cafferty Hill and Pollard Hill, where smaller settlements like Maine and Newark Valley maintain a more rural character. The map captures an era of educational and infrastructure transition, evidenced by the Tri-Cities Airport and various local institutions such as the South Apalachin Sch. Numerous family and community burial grounds, including Zimmer Cem and Riverhurst Cem, offer valuable touchpoints for genealogical research across Tioga and Broome counties.
