2013 Map of Rheims

About this map

Wheeler and Mitchellsville anchor this rural landscape in the Finger Lakes region, where agricultural traditions persist alongside several small community centers. The map documents a territory defined by deep north-south drainages like Mitchellsville Cr and Softwater Cr, with higher ground marked by Hickory Hill and Kershener Hill. A strong genealogical footprint is visible through numerous family-named burial sites, including the Wheeler Family Cem and the Pleasant Valley Cem. Modern land use is reflected in local specialty operations such as the Hillview Blueberry Farm and Markhams Tree Farm. In the southeast, Pleasant Valley opens toward the Keuka Inlet, while the Cohocton River cuts through the southwestern corner, illustrating the importance of these valley corridors for transport and settlement throughout the county's history.
