1954 Map of South Canisteo

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Bennetts Creek and Colonel Bills Creek carve deep valleys through this part of the Southern Tier, defining a landscape where 1950s agriculture follows the narrow bottoms and lower slopes. The settlement pattern is dominated by small hamlets and rural crossroads such as South Canisteo and West Jasper, where the West Jasper Ch serves as a community anchor. Higher elevations are marked by significant peaks like Bush Hill and Old Baldy, while the western edge reveals the State Reforestation Area, reflecting early mid-century land conservation efforts. For genealogists, the map is particularly rich with family-named landmarks and burial grounds, including the Carter Cem, Thomas Cem, and the elevated Marsh Hill Cem. Numerous hollows like Spaulding Hollow and Norton Hollow indicate the rugged drainage patterns that influenced early road placement and property lines.
