About this map

Tuscarora Creek and its many branches, including the North Branch Tuscarora Creek, carve a complex series of valleys through this southern Steuben County landscape. The area is defined by a high density of named summits such as Derby Hill, Hardscrabble Hill, and Mutton Hill, which separate small settlements like East Woodhull and Borden. The northern edge of the map follows the course of the Canisteo River, a primary waterway for the region.

Local history is preserved in the location of several rural burying grounds, including Elk Creek Cem and Addison Hill Cem, providing clear points of reference for genealogical research. The presence of the Elk Creek Airport near Elk Creek suggests the modern utilitarian use of these upland flats, while the network of roads like Old State Hwy 17 and Addison Back Rd shows the evolution of transit through the steep terrain.
