About this map

Phelps serves as the central hub for this portion of Ontario County, situated along the winding course of the Canandaigua Outlet. The landscape is a network of historic rural settlements and agrarian infrastructure, where legacy holdings like Day Brothers Dairy And Maple Farm and Hemdale Farms reflect a deeply rooted agricultural economy. Transportation patterns are defined by the convergence of several routes at Phelps Junction and the presence of the Newark Reservoir to the south.

Genealogists will find an exceptional number of burial sites scattered across the countryside, ranging from the central Saint Francis Catholic Cem and Resthaven Cem to the smaller Wheat Cem and Whitney Cem. The map documents the varied terrain of the Finger Lakes region, including the elevations of Melvin Hill and Fort Hill, alongside smaller community anchors such as Seneca Castle, Orleans, and Oaks Corners.
