About this map

Conesus Lake anchors the northern landscape of this Livingston County region, where the shoreline is punctuated by Cottonwood Point and Walkleys Landing. The map reveals a transition from the lakeside settlements to the upland terrain of Turkey Hill and Marrowback Hill, where the drainage of N McMillan Cr feeds into the Livonia Reservoir. The valley floor is dominated by the Conesus Inlet, a marshy corridor that separates the western ridges from the village of Scottsburg.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local burial sites, from the Lakeview Cem near the lake to the remote Arnold Cem and Rau Cem further south. These small family and community cemeteries, alongside named crossroads like Foots Corners and Websters Crossing, indicate a long-standing agricultural and residential pattern established well before the modern era. The southern portion of the quadrangle follows the winding path of Canaseraga Creek through the flats near Carney Hollow.
