About this map

The village of Phelps serves as the focal point of this regional study, situated at the confluence of the Canandaigua Outlet and Flint Creek. The landscape is a network of small, established hamlets and family-named landmarks including Warner Corners, Knickerbocker Corner, and Five Waters Corners, reflecting a deeply rooted settlement pattern in Ontario County. The geography is notably defined by its many burial grounds, ranging from the central Pioneer Cemetery and Resthaven Cemetery to the outlying Saint Marys Cemetery near Geneva.

Transportation corridors dominate the northern half of the map, where the modern interstate cuts through the traditional rail infrastructure found at Phelps Junction. Water management is represented by the Newark Reservoir and the winding course of the Canandaigua Outlet, which historically powered the industry of the Finger Lakes region. Other distinct markers of the local geography include Grammar Airport and the community of Seneca Castle to the south.
