2019 Map of Ithaca East

About this map

Ithaca's complex topography and academic landscapes are meticulously charted in this 2019 survey, where the deep gorges of Fall Creek and Cascadilla Cr define the boundaries of Cornell University. The map highlights the city's significant architectural and natural landmarks, from the historic Stone Arch Bridge to the elevation changes of South Hill and Turkey Hill. Beyond the urban core, the terrain rises toward Mt Pleasant and Snyder Hill, revealing a network of smaller communities like Etna, Varna, and Brooktondale. Genealogists will find a wealth of data in the numerous burial grounds documented, including Lake View Cem and the rural Roe Cem near Besemer. This record captures the modern footprint of a region where high-altitude landmarks like the Ithaca Tompkins Regional Airport sit in contrast to the ancient hydrology of Six Mile Creek.
