2019 Map of Pulteney

About this map

Keuka Lake dominates the eastern edge of this landscape, its steep shoreline defining the development of small communities like Pulteney and Lakeside Park. The area is characterized by high ridges and deep gullies, with the western uplands around Italy Hill giving way to the dramatic topography of The Pinnacle and Bluff Point overlooking the water. This 2019 survey documents the enduring settlement patterns of the Finger Lakes region, where early roads like Italy Hill Rd and Belknap Hill Rd wind through agricultural lands and forested slopes. Genealogists will find significant local history preserved in burial sites such as Glenview Cem, Branchport Cem, and Pelton Cem, while the confluence of Sugar Creek near Branchport illustrates the traditional water-dependent sites of the early hamlet centers.
