2016 Map of Alfred

About this map

Alfred and its adjacent educational institutions serve as the cultural and geographic center of this Allegany County landscape. The southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the sprawling campuses of SUNY Coll of Technology at Alfred and Alfred Univ, situated along the winding path of Canacadea Cr. This academic hub is surrounded by high ridges such as Pine Hill and Hamilton Hill, which separate the valley settlements from the rural uplands. In the north, the headwaters of the Canisteo River flow near the small hamlets of Hiltonville and Bishopville. The transition from the structured street grids of Tinkertown and Alfred Station to the winding rural routes like Karr Valley Rd highlights the area's mix of academic life and traditional agriculture. Notable family and community markers are found at Alfred Rural Cem and Lippincott Cem, while the N Country National Scenic Trail winds across the hills, marking the region's connection to broader trail systems.
