About this map

Colonel Bills Creek and Bennetts Creek carve through the high terrain of Steuben County in this 2010 survey, illustrating a landscape defined by its deeply etched hollows and ridges. The settlement of South Canisteo serves as a central junction where these narrow valley roads meet, while Bennetts and Jasper anchor the western and southeastern corners of the quadrangle. For genealogists, the map identifies several rural burial grounds, including Carter Cemetery, Thomas Cemetery, and the Hampshire Cemetery.

The topography transitions from the steep rise of Old Blady and Bush Hill down into smaller drainages like Milwaukee Creek and Tuscarora Creek. Historic land use is reflected in family-named landmarks such as Leahy Hollow and Banks Hollow, alongside agricultural ridges like Turkey Ridge. These features highlight a persistent rural layout that has changed little in its basic road and drainage structure over the decades.
