1893 Map of Ithaca
USGS Topo · Published 1960About this map
The south end of Cayuga Lake anchors this 1893 landscape, where the growing city of Ithaca sits at the base of steep hills and dramatic glens. The topography is defined by deep gorges and waterfalls, including the prominent Buttermilk Falls and Lick Brook, which flow through the town of Ithaca toward the lake. This era represents a peak for the Lehigh Valley Railroad, which skirts the eastern shoreline and winds through the southern valleys, connecting remote settlements like West Danby and Alpine to the regional economy.
