About this map

Canandaigua Lake dominates this landscape, its deep waters framed by a series of points and gullies that define the Finger Lakes topography. Along the western shore, numerous family-named landmarks like Menteth Point and Tichenor Point alternate with steep drainage features such as Menteth Gully and Fisher Gully. This 2013 survey illustrates the dense residential developments of Crystal Beach and Cottage City on the eastern shore, contrasting with the more dispersed rural layout around the inland village of Cheshire.

Genealogists and local historians will find a high concentration of burial sites throughout the western uplands, including Hunn Memorial Cem, Remington Cem, and Pine Bank Cem. The presence of Randall-Standish Vineyards in the southwest corner reflects the region's agricultural heritage, while Roseland Park in the north serves as a modern waypoint. The map clearly identifies the shift from lakeside leisure to agricultural land use, punctuated by small community hubs like Grange Landing and Greens Landing.
