About this map

Phelps and its surroundings in Ontario County are defined by the winding course of the Canandaigua Outlet and the convergence of several small rural communities. The landscape is dotted with historical burial grounds that serve as a record of early settlement, including Five Waters Cem, Resthaven Cem, and the Pioneer Cem. The area around Phelps Junction and Unionville shows a transition from agricultural fields to the more concentrated village centers.

Water management and infrastructure are prominent, with the Newark Reservoir and Flint Creek shaping the local geography. To the south, the terrain rises toward Fort Hill near the community of Melvin Hill. The map also captures several family-named landmarks and local sites like Grammar Airport and Seneca Castle, providing a detailed look at the township before the continued expansion of the northern Geneva outskirts. Small settlements like Oaks Corners and Orleans remain distinct nodes within this network of country roads.
