About this map

Horseheads serves as the focal point of this Chemung County landscape, situated where the valley floors meet the rising elevations of Beers Hill and Carr Hill. The settlement pattern follows the drainage of Newtown Creek and its tributaries, including Beaver Brook and Catharine Cr, which cut through the northern hills. Genealogists will find a significant concentration of burial sites, from the large Maple Grove Cem near the town center to smaller, upland locations like Turner Cem and Vary Cem.

South of the main village, the residential grid of Elmira Heights begins to emerge, while to the north, smaller clusters like Pine Valley and Sullivanville maintain a more rural character. Transportation infrastructure is represented by the Omni Airpark and the Dodge/Coppola/Wheeler Airport, reflecting the area's continued role as a regional hub for the southern Tier. The topography is defined by prominent overlooks such as Bowman Hill and Hawes Hill, which frame the valley corridors.
