About this map

Canisteo and the winding Canisteo River anchor this topographic study of Steuben County, where the valley floor transitions into high ridges and named hollows. The settlement pattern reflects a deeply rooted rural community, with small clusters like Canisteo Center, Buena Vista, and Butcher Corner connected by a network of upland roads such as Turnpike Rd and Graves Hill Rd.

Genealogists will find a significant distribution of family-named burial sites across the landscape, including the McConnell Cemetery near Howard and the Tom Hallett Cemetery south of the river. The complex drainage of the region is evident in the numerous tributaries like Stephens Creek and Bennetts Creek, which carve out features such as Taylor Hollow and Hungry Hollow. This 2010 landscape remains largely agricultural, characterized by traditional holdings like Palmer Farms and the rugged contours of Horton Hill.
