About this map

The Canisteo River and the fertile lowlands of The Muck define the valley floor where the village of Arkport serves as a critical junction for the Conrail line. This 1960s survey, updated in the late 1970s, illustrates a landscape where agricultural drainage and flood control are paramount, evidenced by the Arkport Dam and the extensive network of ditches through the mucklands.

Upland from the river valley, the terrain rises into the rolling heights of Oak Hill and Day Hill, dotted with rural landmarks that speak to the area's social history. The map records the Grange Hall near Dotys Corners and the Rogersville-Forest Lawn Ch in South Dansville, alongside several family and community burial grounds such as Oak Hill Cem and Burns Cem. The northeastern corner includes a series of reservoirs, including Hornell Res No 2, situated along the steep drainage of Cream Hill.
