About this map

Penn Yan serves as the focal point of this Yates County landscape, situated at the north end of Keuka Lake. The village’s industrial history is etched along the Keuka Lake Outlet, where a sequence of mill settlements including Kenka Mills, Milo Mills, and Seneca Mills follows the water’s eastward flow. This corridor highlights the early reliance on hydraulic power that shaped the local economy before the era of modern aviation represented by the Penn Yan Airport to the south.

Surrounding the village, the agricultural character of the Finger Lakes region is evident in the scattered hamlets of Benton Center and Havens Corner. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the township, from the large Lake View Cem overlooking the water to rural plots like Merrifield Cem and Cole Cem. The presence of Keuka Spring Vineyards and Apple Barrel Orchards underscores the area's enduring viticulture and fruit-growing heritage.
