- Description:
- A map of the development plan for Cornell University dated both November 1965 and January 1967. The map is oriented with East at the top of the page. Cascadilla Creek and Fall Creek are traced on the southern and northern edges of central campus, respectively. Beebe Lake is similarly depicted to the northeast of the central campus. The creeks and other water features are illustrated by concentric lines within their boundaries, and waterfalls are indicated with densely packed parallel lines. The footprints of the dozens of existing university buildings and residential homes are drawn on the map, with bold lines noting instructional buildings and dormitories. Buildings cluster primarily in the central area of campus, but extend all the way to the agricultural and engineering area at the eastern extent of campus. Both existing and proposed university buildings are labelled with capitalized letters within their boundaries or in the spaces directly outside the footprints, and some residential buildings and fraternities are labelled similarly. A small insert along the north edge of the map details the buildings of a C.U. Research park. The extent of the map stretches from Jessup Road in the north to Mitchell Street in the south, and Linn Street in the west to the eastern extent of Arboretum Road on the far eastern side of campus, near the agricultural instruction buildings.
