About this map

The Cohocton River valley defines the character of this Steuben County landscape, where the village of Bath serves as a significant regional hub. The map highlights a complex infrastructure including the expansive Veterans Administration Center and the Fair Grounds north of the river. Transportation patterns are clearly established by the Conrail rail lines and the historic Turnpike Road, which facilitate movement between early settlements like Kanona and Knight Settlement.

Genealogists will find several burial grounds across the hills and valleys, such as Nondaga Cem, Holy Cross Cem, and the more remote Knight Cem. Educational and social markers are well-represented, from the Haverling High Sch to the local Drive-in Theater near Lake Salubria. The terrain is marked by prominent family-named features like Haverling Heights, Magees Hill, and Sharps Hill, illustrating the legacy of early landownership in the New York Southern Tier.
