To what extent have human features been influenced by the local topography?

The question is based on Map T-12, the “Sodus, New York” quadrangle (scale 1:24,000; contour interval 10 feet) and Figure 47-3, a stereogram of this same area (43°09'55"N, 77°04'51"W). The map and stereogram show a number of drumlins, each with its long axis oriented approximately north-south.
What will be an ideal response?


Roads follow the general north-south trend of the drumlins; many roads go around the drumlins.
