About this map

Keuka Lake West Branch dominates the eastern half of this terrain, where the steep slopes of Bluff Point rise sharply from the water's edge. This 1942 survey captures a landscape of Finger Lakes viticulture and rural education, evidenced by a dense network of district schools including School No 12, School No 11, and School No 5. The community of Pulteney serves as a central hub, while the northern reaches show the transition from the Guyanoga Valley into the village of Branchport.

Genealogists will find significant local detail in the named crossroads and burial sites, such as Darby Corners, Gloade Corners, and Pelton Cem. Near the southern tip of the bluff, the Garrett Memorial Chapel stands as a distinct landmark. The topography is defined by deep ravines like Wagener Glen and elevated points such as The Pinnacle, illustrating the dramatic glacial carving of the Steuben County highlands.
