About this map

Dansville serves as the central hub of this northern Appalachian plateau landscape, where the Rochester & Southern RR and Interstate 390 converge. The settlement pattern follows the deep valleys of Canaseraga Creek and Stony Brook, with the latter being preserved within the boundaries of Stony Brook State Park. These drainages cut through dramatic terrain features like Patterson Gully and Whiteman Gully, revealing the complex geological erosion of the Finger Lakes region.

Evidence of long-standing community roots is found in the high density of rural burial grounds, including Sparta Center Cem and Greenlawn Cem near Rogersville. Educational and transportation infrastructure is well-defined by the Dansville High Sch and the Dansville Municipal Airport, while smaller hamlets like Cumminsville and Perkinsville maintain their distinct positions at the intersections of historic county roads and creek crossings.
