About this map

Towlesville serves as the central hub of this Steuben County landscape, where deep-cut stream valleys define the settlement patterns. The topography is dominated by numerous high points, including Annabel Hill, Snell Hill, and Hathaways Pinnacle, which separate the various brook and creek drainages. A dense concentration of family-named burial grounds like Oak Hill Cem, Norris Cem, and Chamberlain Cem reveals the deep genealogical roots of the area, concentrated primarily around the high ridges and valley junctions.

Water flows dictate the path of the secondary road network, with Goff Creek cutting across the northern portion while the Canisteo River defines the southwestern edge. Local history is etched into the landscape at Knight Settlement and Buck Settlement, which remain distinct from the primary hamlet. The presence of smaller water bodies like Lake Demon and Demon Pond provides a contrast to the agricultural and upland character that otherwise prevails throughout this part of the Southern Tier.
