2016 Map of Phelps

About this map

The Canandaigua Outlet and Flint Creek converge near the village of Phelps, a key settlement in this Finger Lakes agricultural landscape. This survey reveals a high density of small family and community burial grounds, including the Five Waters Cem and Whitney Cem, which reflect the area's deep-rooted 19th-century settlement patterns. To the west, Clifton Springs sits near the edge of the sheet, while the southern reaches show the rural hamlets of Orleans and Seneca Castle. The terrain is marked by distinct glacial features like Fort Hill, which overlooks the landscape between Melvin Hill and Oaks Corners. Significant water management is evident at the Newark Reservoir, situated amidst a grid of rural roads like Falkey Rd and Toll Rd that have long connected these farming communities to the rail junction at Phelps Junction.
