About this map

Canandaigua and the northern reaches of its namesake lake anchor this region in Ontario County, where modern infrastructure meets long-standing agricultural roots. The landscape is defined by the drainage of Canandaigua Outlet and numerous small waterways like Padelford Brook and Sucker Brook that flow through the glacial topography of Buttermilk Hill and Young Hill. The map reflects a community with deep lineage, preserving numerous historical burial grounds such as Hathaway Cem, S Farmington Cem, and Sand Hill Cem.

Settlement patterns follow traditional crossroads and hamlets, including Mertensia, Padelford, and Centerfield. The northern half is characterized by active agricultural operations like Black Brook Farm and Fresh-Ayr Farm, while the south transitions into the urban grid of the city. Notable landmarks like the Canandaigua Airport and the rising ground of Arsenal Hill provide clear points of reference for those tracing the development of this finger lakes corridor.
