1954 Map of South Canisteo

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

South Canisteo and the surrounding rural uplands of Steuben County appear here as they were mid-century, defined by a network of narrow valleys and high ridges. The landscape is deeply carved by drainage systems like Bennett Creek and Colonel Bills Creek, which dictated the placement of small settlements and family farms. At the intersection of local routes, small communities such as Bennetts, Hampshire, and Dennis Corners served as local hubs. The southern portion of the map includes a significant State Reforestation Area, indicating a shift in land use on the steeper slopes of Greenwood Hill and Jackson ridge. Genealogists will find several burial grounds noted, including Thomas Cem and the Hampshire Cem near the town of Jasper, along with the West Jasper Ch, providing a detailed look at the social and religious infrastructure of this farming region.
