About this map

The Canisteo River valley serves as the primary geographic corridor through this section of Steuben County, anchoring the settlement at Rathbone and the hamlet of Cameron Mills. This 2010 survey reflects a landscape shaped by narrow valley bottoms and high, dissected plateaus, where small communities like Risingville and Thurston are linked by a network of rural roads that follow the drainage patterns of Tracy Creek and Michigan Creek.

Genealogists and local researchers can locate established burial grounds such as the Cameron Hill Cemetery and Aldrich Cemetery, which are positioned on the higher elevations above the river plains. The terrain is marked by distinctive natural features including The Gulf in the north and the Oskonsa Falls along Myers Creek. Smaller water bodies, such as Thurston Pond, Cranberry Pond, and Goodhue Lake, suggest a landscape historically utilized for local agriculture and small-scale milling as the settlements developed around these vital water sources.
