About this map

Canisteo and the winding Canisteo River valley define the layout of this Steuben County landscape, where the river serves as a corridor for the village and neighboring Canisteo Center. The surrounding uplands are marked by significant elevation changes at Tobes Hill and Burt Hill, connected by a network of rural roads that often follow the natural drainage of Colonel Bills Creek and Bennetts Creek.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial grounds throughout these hills, ranging from the central Woodlawn Cem to more isolated sites like Meeks Cem, Van Delinder Cem, and Stephens Cem. Small settlements like Big Creek, Howard, and Adrian are spaced along the perimeter, reflecting a pattern of upland farming and valley-based commerce. The persistence of family-named landmarks like Horton Hill and Hungry Hollow provides a clear link to the area's ancestral land divisions.
