About this map

Danby and the surrounding hamlets of South Danby and Crum Town anchor this landscape, where the high ridges of the Finger Lakes region are deeply incised by the headwaters of Willseyville Creek and Danby Creek. The area maintains its rural character through numerous small family and community burial grounds, such as the Michael Handy Farm Cem and Mandeville Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research in this part of Tompkins County.

The map reveals a transition between the northern hills of Steventown Hill and Durfee Hill and the valley floor at Willseyville, where local routes like Ithaca Rd and Danby Rd follow the natural contours of the terrain. The presence of the Fisher Settlement and Caroline Depot highlights early settlement patterns and the historic importance of the railway corridor connecting these upstate communities.
