About this map

The Canisteo River and Cohocton River valleys define this industrial and educational corridor in the Southern Tier, as it appeared in the mid-1980s. The map captures a region balanced between small-town commerce and academic institutions, notably featuring Alfred University and the State University of New York Agricultural and Technical College at Alfred. Heavy rail activity is evident through the Conrail lines connecting major hubs like Hornell and Corning, while the Bath & Hammondsport RR serves the Finger Lakes transition near Keuka Lake.

Culture and recreation are centered around the Corning Glass Center and scenic state lands including Stony Brook State Park and Pinnacle State Park. The terrain shifts from the high points of the Allegheny Plateau, such as Call Hill and Tip Top, down to the lakefront at Hammondsport. This survey provides a clear view of the regional infrastructure before the further consolidation of the northern rail spurs.
