About this map

Keuka Lake anchors this 1903 survey of the Finger Lakes region, where the steep hillsides of Pulteney and Urbana meet the water at Willow Pt. and Oak Pt. The village of Hammondsport sits at the southern tip of the lake, serving as a vital nexus for the Bath & Hammondsport R.R. and the Steamboat Route that traversed the water to Gibson Landing and Urbana.

The landscape to the east is defined by the parallel basins of Little Lake and Lamoka Lake along the boundary of Wayne and Tyrone. Further south, the map details the confluence of rail lines near Savona, where the Erie R.R. (Rochester Div.) and the Delaware Lackawanna and Western R.R. (Rochester Div.) follow the course of the Cohocton River. Scattered upland settlements like Wayne Four Corners and Monterey illustrate the rural distribution of Steuben and Schuyler counties before the modern highway era.
