1949 Map of Ithaca West

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Cayuga Lake dominates the eastern edge of this post-war landscape, where the southern shoreline transitions into the developed streets of Ithaca. The map reveals a region defined by steep glaciated terrain and its recreational and institutional response, including Robert H Treman State Park featuring Lucifer Falls, and the lakeside Stewart Park. Significant civic footprints are visible, from the Biggs Memorial Hospital complex to the Ithaca Municipal Airport near the U S Naval Res. Local genealogy is grounded in small hubs like Quaker Settlement and the various corners that name the crossroads of Ulysses and Enfield. The presence of the Lehigh Valley railroad and family-named cemeteries like Inlet Valley Cem provides a detailed view of the mid-century infrastructure and community heritage of Tompkins County.
