1978 Map of Ithaca West

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Cayuga Lake defines the eastern boundary of this landscape, where the plateau drops sharply toward the water through steep-walled ravines like Coy Glen and Enfield Creek. The map documents a rural network of crossroads and family settlements, such as Quaker Settlement and Kennedy Corner, that persist alongside the growing western edges of Ithaca. The southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the dramatic topography of Robert H Treman State Park, featuring Lucifer Falls, and Buttermilk Falls State Park. This 1978 revision captures the area's transition, showing established institutions like the County Home and IOOF Home near the lake, while highlighting transportation changes as the Conrail line skirts the waterfront. The land remains largely agricultural and forested between the deep glens, marked by several historic burying grounds including Burdick Hill Cem and Quaker Settlement Cem.
