About this map

The Cohocton River valley serves as the primary corridor for settlement and transit in this Steuben County landscape, with the village of Savona situated near its confluence with Mud Creek. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent uplands, including Irish Hill, Oak Hill, and Brown Hill, which separate the river valley from the clustered lake systems to the north. These smaller water bodies, such as Sanford Lake, Van Keuren Lake, and Peterson Lake, create a distinct pocket of geography near Sonora.

Genealogists will find several local burial grounds documented across the townships, from Riverside Cem near the river to Mount Washington Cem and Seamens Cem. The northern and eastern reaches of the map include large tracts of undeveloped land within Birdseye Hollow, intersected by the N Country National Scenic Trail. This mix of riparian village centers and high-elevation rural roads like Telegraph Rd illustrates the historical development patterns of the Southern Tier.
