About this map

Colonel Bills Creek carves a deep valley through the center of this Steuben County landscape, defining the local topography and settlement patterns of this 2019 survey. The hamlet of South Canisteo sits at the junction of several drainage runs, while the village of Jasper occupies the southeastern corner. The map reveals a high density of rural burial grounds, including Hampshire Cem, Gully Cem, and Marsh Hill Cem, which serve as vital landmarks for genealogists tracing early families in the region.

Steep ridges and named hollows like Leahy Hollow and Banks Hollow isolate agricultural pockets from one another, connected by a network of winding roads such as Marsh Hill Rd and Timmerman Rd. Waterways like Bennetts Creek and Tuscarora Cr drain the high country, where peaks like Bush Hill and Jackson Hill rise significantly above the valley floors, illustrating the persistent rural character of the New York Southern Tier.
