About this map

The Cohocton River valley serves as a bustling corridor for early 20th-century transportation and civic life, where the Delaware Lackawanna and Western RR and the Erie RR trace the water's edge. The village of Bath stands as a significant regional hub, anchored by large institutional landmarks including the State Soldiers and Sailors Home, the County House, and the State Fish Hatchery. These facilities, alongside many rural schoolhouses like Wixon School and Bucks School, illustrate the structured social fabric of Steuben County during this era.

Industrial and agricultural connectivity is evident in the specialized rail lines, such as the Kanona and Prattsburg RR and the Bath and Hammondsport RR, which link smaller hamlets like Mitchellsville and Renehans to the main lines. The landscape is defined by high elevations like Wheeler Hill and Brooks Hill, which separate the valley floors where clusters of activity like the winery at Rheims and the waters of Lake Salubria are found.
