About this map

Canaseraga Creek flows through a deep valley along the border of Allegany and Livingston counties, anchoring a landscape where small valley floor settlements meet steep-sloped ridges. The village of Canaseraga serves as a central hub, connected to outlying hamlets like Swain and Garwoods along the rail corridor. High-elevation landmarks such as Isaman Hill and Scott Hill define the northern terrain, while the southern reaches are marked by the wooded uplands surrounding Gas Spring and North Almond.

Family history is preserved in several rural burial grounds, including Saint Marys Cem, Swain Cem, and the remote Bailey Hill Cem. The presence of the N Country National Scenic Trail winding through the hills suggests a transition toward conservation and recreation in an area historically defined by agricultural and timber interests. Tributaries like Slader Cr and Bennett Cr carve out deep hollows like Belle Hollow and Poags Hole, revealing a complex drainage system that feeds into the Canisteo River watershed.
