About this map

The deep ravines and high ridges of Ontario and Livingston counties define this terrain, where the Bristol Valley meets the steep western slopes of Stid Hill. The landscape is marked by a series of prominent peaks including Gannett Hill and High Point Hill, creating a dramatic verticality that has long influenced local settlement patterns. Small hamlets like South Bristol and Bristol Springs are situated in the lower elevations, while family-named landmarks such as Worden Hill and Cleveland Hill denote the historical significance of upland farming and land ownership.

Researchers will find several significant genealogical sites, including Hunt's Hollow Cem near the Livingston County line and Pamely Cem to the north. The area's natural drainage is captured through features like Briggs Gully and Grimes Creek, which flow toward the southern valley floors. Notable recreational and community spaces like Camp Cutler BSA and the distinctive overlook known as The Jumpoff highlight the region's modern character as a place of conservation and outdoor activity.
