Cortland sits at the confluence of the Tioughnioga River's east and west branches on a broad valley floor carved into the Appalachian Plateau. The valley soils across the city's commercial and industrial corridors are dominated by Howard gravelly loam and Chenango gravelly loam on the outwash terraces, fast-draining and well-suited to most foundation work, while the adjacent hillsides carry Lordstown and Mardin channery silt loams over fragipan substrates.
That building inventory, typical of Cortland County, is dominated by pre-1980 housing and commercial stock with significant ACM presence. Backwell's abatement crews handle this market every month.
