2013 Map of Canisteo

About this map

The Canisteo River valley serves as the primary corridor for development and transport in this part of Steuben County, anchoring the village of Canisteo. The settlement pattern follows the water, with Canisteo Center and Adrian situated along the riverbanks and rail line. Beyond the valley floor, the landscape rises into significant high points like Burt Hill and Horton Hill, where small rural clusters such as Butcher Corner and Buena Vista are connected by a network of county roads. Numerous family and community burial grounds, including Woodlawn Cem, Meeks Cem, and the McConnell Cem, are scattered across the uplands, offering clear markers of long-established lineage for genealogists and local historians. Tributaries such as Bennetts Cr and Stephens Cr cut through the terrain, defining the local geography and the placement of early homesteads like Palmer Farms.
