2016 Map of Ithaca West

About this map

Cayuga Lake dominates the eastern edge of this region, where the steep hillsides of the Finger Lakes region descend into the developed core of Ithaca. The landscape is a mix of urban density at South Hill and the sprawling rural uplands to the west, defined by deep ravines like Coy Glen and Enfield Glen. The map reveals a dense network of local history, marked by numerous small burial grounds including the Quaker Cem and Rolfe Cem, alongside small aviation sites like the Neno International Airport. The path of the N Country National Scenic Trail winds through the southern terrain, crossing Enfield Creek and passing near Budd Cem. Settlement patterns follow the high ground at Kennedy Corner and Applegate Corner, while the deep valley of the Cayuga Inlet provides a natural corridor for the transportation infrastructure connecting Lansing and McKinneys to the city center.
