About this map

The Canisteo River carves a deep valley through this Steuben County landscape, serving as the primary corridor for settlements like West Cameron and Cameron. This 2016 survey illustrates a rural region defined by its narrow valley floors and high, named ridges such as Kinners Knob and Cobble Knob. The transport network follows the water, with Co Rte 119 and Canisteo River Rd hugging the riverbanks, while secondary routes like Cameron-North Jasper Rd climb into the surrounding hills.

Genealogists will find a high density of small burial grounds scattered across the terrain, including Averell Hill Cem, Lower Swale Cem, and the uniquely named Eight Square Cem. These sites, often situated near former school districts or family farmsteads, document the historical footprint of rural communities like South Cameron and Hedgesville. The presence of Randall's Roost Airport near the center of the map highlights the modern adaptation of the flatter terrace lands above the river.
