About this map

The Cohocton River valley serves as a primary corridor for transportation and settlement in this early twentieth-century survey of Steuben County. The village of Bath acts as a central hub, where the Bath and Hammondsport Railroad and the Erie Railroad meet. Just outside the village, the State Soldiers and Sailors Home and the County House represent significant local institutions of the era.

Upstream, the confluence of several rail lines at Kanona and Avoca highlights the region's importance for moving goods, with the Delaware Lackawanna and Western Railroad cutting through the narrow valleys. Away from the tracks, the landscape is defined by high ridges like Brooks Hill and Wheeler Hill, punctuated by remote rural landmarks such as Windfall Church, Bucks School, and the State Fish Hatchery.
