About this map

The Tioughnioga River and its East Branch serve as the central geographic features of this mid-1950s survey of Cortland County. The village of Truxton sits at the convergence of several waterways, including Morgan Creek and Labrador Creek, highlighting its historical importance as a valley hub. The Lehigh Valley railroad follows the river's winding path, connecting the settlements of East River, East Homer, and Crains Mills.

Large tracts of land are dedicated to conservation, including the Tully Forest and multiple numbered State Reforestation Areas. Educational and religious landmarks are well-documented, such as the NY State College of Forestry in the north and St Patricks Cem near the town center. The map captures a transition between the valley's concentrated rail-side communities and the high, timbered ridges of Truxton Hill and Morgan Hill.
