About this map

The Susquehanna River carves through the southern tier of New York, anchoring a landscape defined by postwar growth and industrial transit. The urban corridor of Endicott and Endwell is densely mapped, featuring the sprawling Harpur College campus and the recreational grounds of the En-Joie Golf Course. These developing river towns are tied to the broader region by the Erie RR and Erie Lackawanna RR, which parallel the water and connect small hamlets like Campville and Apalachin.

Away from the river valley, the terrain rises into the hills of Maine and Newark Valley, where a network of rural schools and churches, such as St Johns Ch and the South Apalachin School, served more isolated communities. The inclusion of the Tri-Cities Airport and various Radio Towers reflects the mid-century infrastructure supporting the Triple Cities region. Notable landmarks like Hiawatha Island and the heights of Cafferty Hill offer reference points for tracing family land and historical settlement patterns before modern development altered the rural character of the Tioga and Broome county lines.
