- Description:
- A map showing the campus of Cornell University and campus parking in the year 1978. The map is oriented with East at the top of the page. Roads and footpaths are depicted as parallel lines and vary widths in accordance with real-world measurements. Streets are labeled with capitalized letters either on the inside or directly outside their parallel lines. 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. A branch of the Lehigh Valley Railroad forms a small arch on the southeast corner of the map, indicated as a solid line. The footprints of dozens of university buildings are outlined and labelled with their name and cluster primarily in the western portion of the map. The footprints of dozens of fraternity houses and other residences are illustrated in the western and northern areas of campus and are labelled with their occupying fraternities. The Village of Forest Home in the northeast corner of the map is labelled but no buildings are illustrated. A cluster of university buildings relating to agriculture are grouped on the far eastern side of campus, separated from the main cluster of central campus by a long “Upper Alumni Field.” Throughout the campus, parking lots are colored red, green, blue, and yellow, corresponding to a key of the parking regulations in the bottom left corner of the map. Bus stops are noted on the map with black triangles, and emergency Blue Light Phones are noted with a light blue asterisk. An additional inset in the top right corner explains parking time restrictions, while another in the top left shows parking at the C.U. Research park near the airport. A dashed line encircles the campus. The extent of the map stretches past Jessup Road in the north to State Street in the south, and University Avenue in the west to Caldwell Road on the far eastern side of campus, past a cluster of buildings labelled “N.Y. State Veterinary College.”
