1954 Map of Canisteo

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Canisteo River valley serves as the primary corridor for transportation and settlement in this mid-century survey of Steuben County. The Erie RR follows the river's winding course, connecting the village of Canisteo with smaller outposts like Canisteo Center and Adrian. The upland plateaus are defined by a network of family-named peaks and hollows, including Horton Hill and Hungry Hollow. This landscape is deeply etched with local genealogy, marked by numerous small burial grounds such as McConnell Cem, Johnson Cem, and Stephens Cem that reflect the area's early farmstead patterns. Small hamlets like Butcher Corner and Buena Vista remain clustered at rural intersections, while the presence of Gas Wells near Sherwood indicates the extraction of natural resources from the hilly terrain. The map captures the transition from a traditional rail-centered economy toward the modernized infrastructure of the 1950s.
