About this map

Horseheads and Elmira Heights dominate this late 1960s landscape, illustrating a period of significant suburban and industrial transition in Chemung County. The map captures a complex transportation corridor where the Penn Central and Erie-Lackawanna railroads intersect with burgeoning post-war road networks like Colonial Drive. The village centers are dense with civic life, featuring the Townhall, City Hall, and numerous neighborhood institutions such as Broad Street Sch and the Trade Sch.

Beyond the residential blocks, the terrain rises sharply into the hills of Catlin and Veteran, where features like Omni Airpark and the County Fairgrounds signify the region's diverse land use. Local genealogy is well-supported by detailed locations for Maple Grove Cem, St Marys Cem, and St Nicholas Cem, alongside smaller rural settlements such as Pine Valley and Sullivanville along the North Branch of Newton Creek.
