About this map

The Cohocton River valley defines the character of this Steuben County landscape, serving as the primary corridor for transportation and settlement in the late 1960s. The village of Campbell sits at the junction of the river and Wolf Run, while Coopers Plains anchors the southeastern corner where the valley widens. The dominance of the Conrail line following the riverbank illustrates the historical reliance on rail for moving goods through this narrow topographic corridor.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several rural burial grounds, including Hope Cem and Riverside Cem, as well as local landmarks like the Central Sch and Pierce Sch. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the State Game Management Area and a large Reforestation Area, indicating a shift from early agricultural clearing toward protected conservation and managed timberlands on the steep hills surrounding Curtis Creek.
