1954 Map of Erin

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Erin and the surrounding Chemung County uplands are defined by a network of steep hills and winding valley roads in the mid-1950s. The Lehigh Valley railroad cuts through the northeastern corner near Park Station, while the southern reaches of the map show the agricultural and rural residential patterns along Newtown Creek and Baldwin Creek. This area is particularly rich for genealogical research, documenting numerous burial grounds such as Old Scotchtown Cem, Hilltop Cem, and the Austin Hill Cem. Local civic life is anchored by landmarks like the County Home and the Jones District Sch near Tuthill Ridge. The landscape is a mosaic of family-named peaks, including Mallory Hill, Laurel Hill, and Langdon Hill, reflecting long-standing land ownership patterns before later modern developments altered the rural character of these valley settlements.
