1949 Map of Ithaca West

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Ithaca sits at the southern tip of Cayuga Lake, serving as a regional hub for industry and education just after World War II. The landscape is defined by its dramatic hydrology, featuring the steep descents of Buttermilk Falls and the carved gorge of Enfield Glen. These natural landmarks are preserved within Robert H Treman State Park and Buttermilk Falls State Park, reflecting the era's commitment to public recreation and conservation. Along the eastern shore, the Lehigh Valley railroad and the Delaware Lackawanna and Western lines converge on the city, illustrating the vital rail network that sustained the Finger Lakes region.
