About this map

Ithaca sits at the southern terminus of Cayuga Lake, where a complex network of gorges and creeks carves through the landscape. The western approaches to the city are defined by steep terrain and significant natural landmarks like Enfield Glen and Coy Glen. The presence of Robert H Treman State Park and Buttermilk Falls State Park highlights the area's transition from early agricultural and milling sites to preserved recreational spaces.

Smaller hamlets such as Jacksonville, Krum Corner, and Kennedy Corner dot the uplands, connected by old routes like Trumansburg Rd. For local history researchers, several burial grounds are documented, including the Budd Cem and Woodward Cem, marking the locations of early family farmsteads. The map also records the developed shoreline at McKinneys and Glenwood Point, illustrating the residential growth extending northward from the city center.
