About this map

Danby State Forest dominates the high ground of the southern Finger Lakes region in this 1969 survey, punctuated by high points like Durfee Hill and Eastman Hill. The map documents a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and the legacy of the Lehigh Valley Railroad, noted here as an Old Railroad Grade passing through Caroline Depot and toward Willseyville. In the valleys, small agricultural hubs and residential clusters like South Danby and White Church are connected by a network of winding roads, including Michigan Hollow Road and Coddington Road.

Cultural landmarks are sparse but significant for local history, ranging from the Danby School and Observatory to several historic burial grounds such as Danby Rural Cemetery and Lane Cemetery. The northern edge of the sheet transitions into the protected lands of Buttermilk Falls State Park near Jennings Pond, while drainage patterns like Willseyville Creek and Danby Creek follow the deep glacial cuts of the terrain.
