About this map

The deep glacial valleys and elevated ridges of the Finger Lakes region define this landscape at the boundary of Ontario and Livingston counties. Springwater sits at the southern terminus of the Springwater Valley, where Springwater Creek and Limekiln Cr converge before entering the southern end of Hemlock Lake. The high ground between the basins is marked by several small rural hamlets and family-named landmarks, such as West Canadice Corners and Bald Hill.

Genealogical interest is particularly high due to the numerous rural burial grounds scattered across the township, including the Mount Vernon Evergreen Cem and the TibbaIs Cem. The map tracks the steep ravines of Reynolds Gully and Briggs Gully, which cut through the hills toward Canadice Lake and Honeoye Lake, illustrating the complex drainage patterns that have shaped local settlement and agriculture for generations.
