2013 Map of Schenevus

About this map

Schenevus Creek flows through a valley defined by the Interstate 88 corridor, anchoring a series of small settlements including Schenevus, Chaseville, and Tuscan. The landscape is a mix of steep topography, such as Hooker Mountain and Dog Hill, and narrow stream valleys where many family names are preserved on local roads and farmsteads like Willy's Farm. This 2013 survey shows the modern transportation network laid over an older pattern of rural hamlets and small burial grounds, including Schenevus Cem and Bliven Cem. To the north, Elk Creek serves as a secondary focal point for the agricultural uplands. The presence of features like Seward Lake and Clapper Lake suggests a terrain where glacial history has left numerous water bodies and wetlands across the high ground between the Schenevus and Charlotte Creek watersheds.
