About this map

The Cohocton River valley defines the western reach of this survey, where the Erie railroad corridor connects the settlements of Atlanta and North Cohocton. To the north, the village of Naples sits at the foot of several prominent hills, featuring a Fairground and early industrial markers like a Gas Well. The landscape is a mix of agricultural valley floors and steep terrain, including named peaks such as Hatch Hill and Knapp Hill.

Genealogists will find significant detail in the distribution of rural burial grounds and educational centers, from Rose Ridge Cem near the northern border to Shults Cem in the south. The prevalence of numbered district schools, such as School No 2 and School No 12, illustrates the late-era one-room schoolhouse system still mapped during this mid-century period. Wildlife and conservation interests are represented by the High Tor Game Management Area, marking the transition into more forested, protected lands.
