Cortland is kind of an interesting metropolitan area to explore, as the city is pretty much limited to the valley within the hills, as terrain and the lack of industry have limited it's growth. Outside of the city, is high, tree-covered hills and state land with shallow soils, and deep, rich agricultural valleys, especially to the north around Preble.
