About this map

Cornell University dominates the western slopes of this 1949 survey, its campus bounded by the gorges of Fall Creek and Cascadilla Creek. The map documents a period of postwar expansion around Ithaca, showing residential growth in Cayuga Heights and the smaller hamlets of Varna, Etna, and Brooktondale. Transportation patterns are defined by the Lehigh Valley railroad line and the historic Catskill Turnpike, which cuts diagonally toward the southeast.
