About this map

Horseheads sits at a historic convergence of valleys and waterways, where Newtown Creek meets the northward-flowing Catharine Creek. This landscape is defined by its transition from the dense residential grids of Elmira Heights and Orchard Knoll in the south to the more dispersed valley settlements of Pine Valley and Sullivanville to the north. Aviation history is present through local hubs like the Omni Airpark and Dodge-Coppola-Wheeler Airport, serving the transport needs of the Chemung County corridor.

Family historians will find a high density of burial grounds, including Turner Cemetery, Vary Cemetery, and the Saint Nicholas Cemetery near the southern boundary. These sites, along with landmarks like Beers Hill and Bowman Hill, provide a fixed geography for tracing ancestral lines across the varied terrain of the southern Finger Lakes region. The presence of Pioneer Village and established neighborhoods like Fisherville underscores the long-standing residential character of this valley floor.
