1953 Map of Savona

About this map

The Cohocton River valley serves as the primary corridor for commerce and transit through this part of Steuben County, where the village of Savona is positioned at the confluence with Mud Creek. The landscape transitions from the river bottom to several prominent heights, including Irish Hill, Oak Hill, and Platt Hill. Large tracts of Reforestation Area suggest a shifting 20th-century land-use pattern away from traditional hillside farming toward managed timber and conservation.
