About this map

Mount Saviour Monastery sits atop the heights above the Chemung River, overlooking a landscape defined by sharp ridges and narrow creek valleys during the late 1960s. The northern portion of the map is dominated by the industrial and transport infrastructure of the Corning area, including the Erie-Lackawanna railroad and a large riverside Powerplant. Modern entertainment and aviation are represented by the Drive-in Theater and the Harris Hill Gliderport, reflecting the post-war development of the Chemung Valley.

Moving south toward the border between New York and Pennsylvania, the map captures several rural settlements and family-named landmarks. Genealogists can locate sites like Sagetown and Webb Mills, or trace burials at Dutch Hill Cem and Kelly Hill Cem. The southern terrain is particularly intricate, with winding roads like Sagetown Road following the path of Mudlick Creek between Widger Hill and Kinner Hill.
