About this map

Conesus Lake anchors this mid-century view of Livingston County, where the shoreline transition from the recreation-focused Cottonwood Pt and Maple Beach to the sprawling Inlet marshland defines the local geography. The landscape is a network of small agricultural settlements and crossroads, including Scottsburg and Websters Crossing, linked by a series of town-line roads and the paths of the Erie Railroad and Delaware Lackawanna and Western.

Genealogists will find a wealth of family-named landmarks and rural infrastructure, from Lakeview Cem and Arnold Cem to a numbered series of schoolhouses, such as School No 9 and School No 5. The rugged eastern elevations are marked by Turkey Hill and the Livonia Reservoir, while the presence of St Michaels Mission near the northern boundary reflects the social fabric of these upland communities during this era of rural New York history.
