TOPOGRAPHY AND NATURAL CHARACTERISTICS 

 The surface is an upland, rolling in the north and hilly in the 

 south. The highest point in the county, which is 2,260 feet 

 above sea level, is located in the northeast corner of Spring- 

 water. The hills on the southern border are 2,000 to 2,200 feet 

 above tide. From their summits the surface declines toward the 

 north, the extreme northern border being 550 to 800 feet above 

 tide. The slopes are usually smooth and gradual, except along 

 the banks of the streams, and nearly all of the land in the county 

 is arable. The streams often flow in deep ravines. 



The principal stream is the Genesee River, which flows through 

 the western part of the county. In the south its banks are steep 

 and precipitous, forming a picturesque gorge; further north the 

 river is bordered by broad intervales subject to overflows in the 

 spring. Its tributaries are Conesus Creek, Fall Brook, and Can- 

 aseraga Creek from the east, and Beards Creek and other small 

 streams from the west. Hemlock and Honeoye outlets flow along 

 the eastern border and a few tributaries of the Susquehanna rise 

 in the southern part. Conesus Lake, near the center, and Hem- 

 lock Lake, along the eastern border, are the only considerable 

 bodies of water.
