var str = 'Named after the miller Theophilus Short, this small village of perhaps 800 seems to have been using this map in an aspirational way: by visualizing itself as a place to which more businesses and people would locate. The main appeal was its situation alongside Flint Creek--outlet for Canandaigua Lake--and the water power that delivered for manufacturing. The map shows a wheel works, drill factory, paper mill, planing mill. A branch of the New York Central & Hudson River Rail Road also passes through town. The panorama is looking roughly southwest.
