2019 Map of Canandaigua Lake

About this map

Canandaigua Lake dominates this Finger Lakes landscape, where deep glacial gullies like Barnes Gully and Fisher Gully cut through the western uplands toward the water. The settlement of Cheshire serves as a central hub for the rural interior, surrounded by a high density of family and community burial grounds including Pine Bank Cem, Lucas Cem, and the Hurn Memorial Cem. Along the western shoreline, prominent points such as Menteth Point and Tichenor Point define the lake’s edge, while the eastern shore is marked by more concentrated residential developments like Cottage City and Crystal Beach. The topography rises sharply toward Bare Hill in the south and Johnson Hill to the west, illustrating the dramatic elevation changes that characterize the region. Further north, the city of Canandaigua transitions from its historic center toward the recreational grounds of Roseland Park and the unique landmark of Squaw Island.
