About this map

Italy Valley and Sherman Hollow define the undulating landscape of this Yates County region, where agricultural traditions persist alongside numerous family burial grounds. The watercourses of Flint Cr, Nettle Valley Cr, and Sugar Cr carve through the terrain, anchoring small communities like Potter, Friend, and Yatesville. A deep sense of local genealogy is evident in the preservation of sites such as the French Cem, Old Ft Cem, and Friend's Burial Ground, which mark the early homesteads of the area.

Agricultural operations like the White Clover Sheep Farm and Sugar Shack Blueberry Farm illustrate the modern continuation of the valley's rural economy. The road network, including names like Ward Simmons Rd and Mothershill Rd, reflects long-standing family ties to specific parcels of land. In the north, the small settlement of Voak sits near the headwaters of the creek system, maintaining the quiet, rural character that has long shaped this part of New York.
