2016 Map of West Danby

About this map

Newfield Hamlet and the nearby village of Newfield anchor the northwestern hills of this Tompkins County landscape, where the geography is defined by deep cuts like VanBuskirk Gulf and the winding course of the W Br Cayuga Inlet. The map reveals a high density of small family and community burial grounds, including the Hine Family Cem and Larue Cem, which speak to the generations of agricultural life in Cornish Hollow and across Beech Hill. Toward the southern border, the terrain transitions into the Tioga County line near North Spencer and the headwaters of Spencer Lake. Transportation patterns are dictated by the steep ridges of Protts Hill and Dawes Hill, with rural routes like Elmira Rd connecting these isolated upland settlements to the valley floors.
