1954 Map of Canisteo

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Canisteo River valley serves as the primary corridor for settlement and transit in this mid-century New York landscape. Along its banks, the village of Canisteo and the smaller Canisteo Center are linked by the Erie RR, illustrating the historical dependence on the river-level rail grade for regional commerce. The surrounding uplands are defined by a network of steep-sided drainages such as Stephens Gulch and Hungry Hollow, where isolated hilltop settlements like Butcher Corner and Buena Vista reside. For genealogists, the map is particularly rich in family-named burial grounds, including the McConnell Cem, Van Delinder Cem, and Tom Hallett Cem. The presence of several Gas Wells north of Horton Hill points to the area's extraction history, while the sprawling municipal footprint of Canisteo includes localized infrastructure like the Sewage Disposal plant near the bend of the river.
